Think I'll Call Off Today

Think I'll call off today
lack of interest to address
any of the issues of now
I truly confess.

I'll slide back inside
my warm cocoon lair.
Skip this day's problems.
Poof! Off into the air.

Think I'll ignore today
tomorrow can come early
don't wish to be sour
nor brash and not surly.

If I can skip today
refuse to face reality
get a break from the horrors
the weight of mentality.

I know it will be there
when I open my cocoon
but a day of respite
cannot come too soon.

I'll just call off today
relax and be at ease
start tomorrow off
joyfully, if you please.
