Morning rise 
before the sun
clip it on 
begin the count
10,000 the goal 
but today is more like one
my feet carry heavy on the ceiling below
and being in lockdown 
there is no room to roam
back and forth 
pacing 
trying to hit 5k
getting told I am loud 
adds to my dismay
What is one to do 
when everyone is so mad
and steps are the only thing 
that makes my heart glad
