waking up slowly

i'm no longer allowing myself to wake up slowly. 
it's the slowness of the transition from dream to reality that with such ease stirs up the gentle tornado of mind.
my mind is at times my worst enemy. the one i dislike, in particular, because i know i won't ever see it die.
as my mind awakes, i feel it gasp for its first breath, struggling to escape from the dreams it knows i wanted to stay nestled within.  as the battle continues, i realize the need to surrender. and each morning, i do. but each day shows its awkwardness to me. because it's in my dreams that i belong.
