Early Morning Blues
Curled up on my bed
A cup of coffee in my hand
I look out of the window
To see the sun set
What a day it has been?
Early morning blues
With a lackluster sound
Buzzing through the house
Like a lifeless corpse
Trying to get by.
A yearning for perfection
Leads to a sort of chaos
Between the soul and the mind
Unsure of where it stands.
We are all corpses
Walking on the street
Seeking comfort in others
More than ourselves
Unable to lie alone
In this mundane world.

The poem brings us into your world then into your world view.
The line 'unable to lie alone' is too pessimistic for me.
I'd like 'not wanting to lie alone' instead, which would explain the problem but leave the outcome still in our potential power.
