every morning you wake up to the same sound, the same dull buzzing sound, or the same over rated pop hit. But it means the same thing, time to start your typical day that is just like every other day. Nothing new, nothing exciting, just scheduled. Nothing ever changes, brush your teeth, shower, eat, work, sleep, repeat.

Of course, it wasn’t a surprise. I wasn’t surprised, anyway. Everyone else was. I was the one who put the chair under the sprinkler, stood up, struck the match on the side of the box and then stretched my arm as far as it would go underneath that sprinkler head . . .
what i hate in the morning. what i felt when i found out what i feared most. the professor insulted me. increase in temperature. its so annoying when your room is locked. press snooze once
michi
Hate hate hate hate hate ringing interrupting peace. Making my boyfriend grumble snooze snooze snooze. Wanting to stay in the warm blankets, and sweet kissing warm embrace of my wooly mammoth love pile. Hate alarm. Ruins romance, ruins love, makes responsibility and bills and mandatory life immediate.
The red brick. The screaming children. The towers fall. I wake up in jail. I miss my family I need to think. I got to stop using the word I. The blue ocean saves me as time runs out. Dolphins and shit. Coral. Glass elephants.

Every morning when i wake up,

Disturbing my sleep.
Ruining my day.
The start of a new day

screaming.
Loud
Brittany
when the alarm goes off, it’s too much
i just want to stay in bed

or an alarm waking me up for a fun day out
regardless, it is not fun
it is not happy

jenn
the alarm just sounded about fifteen minutes ago. i ran out into the hall to see who had set it off. i looked down the hallway to see no one fleeing the scene or anyone for that matter. why am i alone on such a strange night.
kimberly
Clock. This obnoxious sound is completely uninviting to your day. Every time I hear this sound I immediately hit snooze…several times. How is such a terrible noise or something so loud supposed to entice you to get out of bed. I constantly annoy my boyfriend with my habit of setting and resetting and hitting snooze on my alarm. Pity.
The thousand ticks before the ring–they seemed to last the longest. She had woken long ago, but knew that only the bell could get her out of bed. And finally it rang.
BING.
Just that. One giant bing, and she hopped out of the comfort of her silicone blankets. She looked around at her fellow suitemates, the same eyes, noses, and lips staring back at her, and together the clones dressed for another day at the factory.
I think it’s time to wake up, but I hate this time. I hate this thing that shakes me back into reality. I just want to pass back into the state of not caring, but how can I when loud sounds pierce my ears. I hate my alarm. It alarms me. I don’t need its chipper reminder. I can wake up when I want to.

The bell goes off and you see everyone running in all directions.First you see the children; they’re running like chickens with their heads cut off. They don’t know where they’re going. Then you see the teachers, trying to keep the order. Everyone’s rushing to get outside until they pass the little boy with one hand on the alarm and the other in his nostril.
aja
when i feel alarmed. i run and hide. i jump in my bed or anywhere else i can find to go. i find people to be near me that i love. i keep them close to me until i dont feel scared anymore. theyre always close to me. i want to be with those i love all of the time. those i love are part of my heart and soul. when im with them, i dont feel alarmed anymore. they help me through the worst of times. whether it be alarm, fear, heartbreak or pain. they are there for me. i love them.
ANDREA
sometimes I feel alarmed when things frighten me. I dislike being alarmed. When my alarm goes off in the morning, I wish I had more time. I like time to sleep and rest and do things on my own time. Resting and waking at my own digression.
Saraden
Something every human wakes up to every day of our lives. Without even realizing that this one simple invention jump starts our day. That annoying beeping sound we hear everyday can be so tiring and frustrating. sometimes we don’t want to wake up.
Stephanie
the alarm goes off it’s time for school i wish i didn’t have to five more minutes it’s still buzzing annoying buzzing all that buzzing turn it off hit snooze five ten fifteen minutes oops i’m late
ashley
clock annoying wake up and drink coffee brush teeth yogurt cig on porch is it sunday cold air

The alarm rang, signaling time for me to wake to the list of chores for the day. But upon awakening, I rolled over to see the face of the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. A beautiful woman, with a name I couldn’t remember.
The lovely lady soon rolled over, and greeted me with a kiss. It was the most exquisite kiss, I think I had ever experienced.
Dani
Fuck this fucking alarm. I hit snooze and off it goes thirty seconds later. Just as I begin to doze off it explodes again. Unplug that damn alarm, I’ve had enough.
Tom
I think that if I hear an alarm, I should pay attention to it. Look around to see if there is
smoke, if a fire alarm, or if I am in public, is it an ambulance, fire vehicle, police car or what?
If I am in a public place, is it fire alarm ? Leave the premises, NOW. I keep in mind where all entrances & exits are when I go into someplace new so as not to be caught off-guard.
I don’t like being in a state of alarm. I.E. when someone dies, or you have a near-miss accident , or so many other things that we have all had happen to us. Our adrenalin supply
just isn’t made for having too much alarm in our lives. I do not like being frightened. When I
was little, another child who lived with us used to hide, then jump out at me and scare the be-jeebers out of me. Even as an adult, I hate being frightened. I don’t watch scary movies, nor do I like creepy books or photos.
The only alarm I do not mind is my alarm clock. It keeps me on time with my day and
wakes me from my naps.
Granny Dee
It no longer alarms me that when not if we fight
you will call me any name under the sun
and grab me
choke me
hurt me
hit me
slap me
it should not alarm you that you could die
and I might actually breath a sigh of relief
Leah
I set the alarm clock early at night, not realising what I’d just done. The beginning of a new era arose, panic set on as my hands started shaking.
Daniel
My alarm goes off – and if I slept early enough, my eyes open immediately, but my hand moves faster, instinctively dropping onto the snooze button. I’m alarmed by this early start to my day. It’s such an ugly sound to wake up to.
i woke up this morning and shut the alarm off. I think it’s best to say that my mom put the alarm intentionally so I can wake up. But in reality, I didn’t need it at all. At the age of 28, i think it’s embarrassing to have your parents wake you every morning for work. A adult should be responsible for his or her own actions. I rest my case.
Ernest
My roommate let her alarm clock go off for a total of an hour on Sunday morning. It isn’t a nice alarm; it is that blaring honking gross noise. It was SUNDAY. I wanted to throw it against a wall and smash it into 364 tiny pieces that could never be recovered.
college-gal
buzzing, frantic, irritation. Disturbed from the bliss that is your dreams. Time to start a new day… Nothing changes.
Cale
Fire it’s burning run Jonny get your brother and get out of here. Honey get the dog. I’ll get the important documents just make sure everyone is safe. I grab the papers and run out of the house. The kids and Honey stand in the front yard looking at our home going up in flame.
Kia walked out of the house and gasped in alarm. There, outside her door, was her long lost pet, Russell.
“I knew you would come back!” Kia shouted in glee and rushed to pick him up.
Mia Khan
it’s what wakes me up every morning. sometimes it scares me because it reminds me of the fire alarm at school, or when the alarm goes off at ut during emergencies.
Katie
The alarm in my head goes off as if i had something important to do, or maybe i forgot to do something. But it doesn’t matter, il continue to move without distractions. An alarm will only notify you but your goals will move you.
i hate fucking alarms honeslty i would rther be woken up by a person it much more settle how wantso be woke up my beeping noises in your damn ear.. none desnt make a good start for ur day.iv never used on and dont plan on it. yes they save u from being late and you count on hem to makemney but to me there worthless
dumb
Restless,
like the molecules
are swimming around in my body,
poking the inside of my epidermis
and creating jolts and twitches
in my eyes and my toes,
my legs and my nose,
letting too much water into my cells
and out again,
squeezing me until I push outward
with all of the energy left
in my mitochondria
and explode like an exothermic reaction
in my mind.
My alarm went off and it was only 6 am. UGH! Morning never comes easily for me. That’s probably because I am such a night owl. Often I think it would be nice to have one of those fancy alarms that starts like the sunrise. Brilliant and gentle all at the same time.
Nanette Saylor
wakes me up in the morning, reminds me of high school, makes me feel like something of importance is about to happen. Stress contributor, got my first alarm clock in 6th grade when I woke up at 5am every morning. My alarm clock plays the sound of the ocean, and rain forest, along with a ‘babbling creek’
Drea
i am alarmed that you just ended this relationship
we could be amazing
i know it
try harder
i deserve better
and i know you can do better
this hurts
i’ve never hurt like this
please
be here for me

lets make this work
i could love you
ive trusted you with all that i am
you love me
i know that
My alarm clock never jolts me out of bed. My cellphone’s little jingle won’t bother me. Fire bells, steam whistles, nothing will strike fear into my heart.
Except for the thunderclap, the one thing that causes alarm. You knew this, and yet, you let me cry alone in the house during the storm.

High risk situation. Do you fight or do you flee? I learned the hammer punch last week and I’m confident I’ll find a spot in my life to use it.
Alarming-my dream last night. D picks her over me, even though we’re still together. ALARMING.
High risk red.
