The alarm went off at 6:45 am. Sometimes, I just lay there, listening, knowing that this can’t be happening. There’s no way I’ll go to calc. Well, there I am 2 hours later suddenly aware that at some point, I got dressed, drank coffee, made it out the door, and got in the right seat for class.

I wake up in the morning. it shouts at me. i really hate it. like really really hate it. its so conformist. every day. at the same time to this stupid annoying buzzer. I really wish you would go fuck off. I have my own dreams and let them be. It is a pretty cool thing right. Now leave me alone alarm
Mike
panic, attack. breathing fear. wondering, remembering, scrounging, stumbling. thoughts, memories, expectations, suspicions, fears. beep beep beep beep impenetrating your dreams. expected but so unexpected, wanted but so unwanted and needed but so unnecessary.
sarah
Don’t be alarmed. Don’t alarm me. I am in a precarious state right now. Respect that and I will try to respect your needs. We’re all just trying to get through this- so please, let’s look at one another and really try to see who’s behind that face, those clothes, that smile.
lola
The alarm’s shrill clang jarred me from my dream. Another morning, another day to try and find a job. One that I wasn’t over or under qualified for.
Jan Patterson
the alarm clock rings and i push it to fall back asleep because i don’t want to wake up cause then i have to go to school.. waaaaa! school sucks!! i don’t enjoy one bti
Kayla
Alarms make me think of fire alarms. Which I always enjoy cause you get out of class for a good five minutes. And I normally don’t enjoy the class I have when there is a fire drill. Also, they make me think of Tornado alarms things in the summer, which sometimes, scare me, but I enjoy storms anyways.
Natasha
my alarm goes off every morning and it is almost the worst part of my day but really the worst is setting it every night, the fact that I’m setting myself up for it every morning…
nicoletta
The alarm went off, flashing red lights down the hall. The Sentinel, already dressed in his usual attire, looked up with mild calm. Calling his teammates, he prepped for the day. Or he would, were they not still asleep.
Zac Schneider
The alarm wakes me up, ring ring ring. Nahh shut up shut up. I was dreaming a nice dream. Please don’t wake me up. I hide under the blanket to avoid the piercing sound of my alarm. Shhh ring ring ring ring. Leave me be please. Please. I wake up. Time to get up. Ok.
Nate
OHHHHHH the alarm, the most dreaded sound in this earth. I always push snooze just for those extra five minutes of sleep, even though we all know that in reality those five minutes are nothing. But in those first few moments of consciousness after waking, those are the most valuable five minutes of the whole day. <3
when i wake up to this fierce sound, my heart is pounding with confusion. there’s so many things to be done in so little time. i can’t think straight, my mouth is stuck to my pillow, and i don’t know what’s going on. i have to do so much! ah! what to do?! BEEEP BEEEEP!! then i come to realization that hey, i gotta get up.
Lindsey Bennett
Wakefulness hits me like a brick as my alarm blares relentlessly by my head. In a rehearsed maneuver, I snatch it from my night stand and toss it to the floor. A few minutes to rub the blear from my eyes, and I reach down to rustle on the floor for my jeans, fishing a pack of smokes from the pocket. Sitting in the first rays of the morning, I light my first and let the world slide by.
beep snooze awake or asleep on a cloud in the sun in the sky idle as a plane passes by you’re sunglasses shield the wind seagulls pass beneath the beep keeps going but its alright the sun will carry will you away from here
Chloe
This morning I woke up to an alarm. It wasn’t all that great, as I was only feeling okay. Right now I’m feeling better, but at the same time it’s not all that fantastic. Anyway, I think I’m just in a slump and need to find whatever it is that’s going to make me feel better and then I’ll start to feel better. I think next week if the weather is better then I’ll feel a lot better, as I usually do when the weather gets nicer. I should go check that out now.
i hate when i hear my alarm. i oanic everytime i hear a beep. most of the time i never wake up to my first alarm. alarm is a negative word all together. there is no happy alarm. like oh happy alarm you win a million dollars. oh alaarm dont wake up you sleep in. nothing good occc
Samantha
Set. Ticking. One way or another. It comes for you. Like that nightmare around the corner. Hide if you can, someday, your time will be up. Listen, wake. Or ignore and dream.
Kaijine
I hate it when it goes off in the morning. Alarms are not my friend. They never come in time to wake me up from the bad dreams. But always seem to ruin the good ones. Alarms scare me. they annoy me. I wish we didn’t need them. I wish we could come and go as we please. Everywhere.

It’s entirely too early to be waking up. This is stupid. Why is that alarm so….
Annoying. I can’t stand its beep-beep-beeping. I want to sleep. This is stupid. Or is it a fire alarm? I dunno. Let
Bill
well, first off i get annoyed when i hear you. the thought of having to wake up is upsetting. but i’m glad you worked actually cuz i’d be even more upset if i had overslept. bittersweet shit. then of course, there’s things like fire alarms that are also annoying and most people tend to ignore it at school like there’s no real emergency. but i rather not take my chances. more bittersweet shit.
Nina
when my alarm goes off in the morning i hit the snoose button….5….maybe 6 times. a little shorter period of time each time, until i don’t fall asleep anymore between. this causes me to be later and later picking up sean every morning to the point where we walk into class around 10 mintues later than planned.
Becca
I was alarmed to learn that I was not the only girl in his life. Alarmed to know that I wasn’t going to have my way with him. Not that i intended anything immoral. I just wanted to marry him, that was all. And now she came along and ruined everything.
I woke up to th e sound of my alarm going off. God I hate that sound. It just means another end to another dream, and that dream always seemed to be about the one thing I could never have, It klls me everytime I’m pulled from that place and those sensations, but life must go on. Even though life is nothing compared to the dream.
MaliceLarmi
this is the most annoying noise in the morning. the dread of leaving my warm sanctuary fills my veins with anger, burning and PISSING ME OFF. fuck alarms.
eep
It alarms me when my alarm goes off in the morning. Dazed and disoriented, I struggle and fumble to find my phone. My alarm rings with such zest that I almost envy the thing. I am not awake, stop alarming me. Why must my alarm keep this up? Alarm, go away.
Lauren Berry
Alarm bells go off frequently. The go off on cars when someone walks past a little too close. They go off in buildings when there is smoke or when someone “accidentally” bumps the alarm. They go off all too frequently, but not when they are needed.
waking up in the morning sucks butt. i hate when my alarm goes off and i feel comfy in my bed. you’re never that comfortable until the alarm sounds. then it’s like you’ve never felt more warm and secure in your life. plus, the annoying sound it makes? ugh. no good. then the fact that the alarm means i’ll be heading to work soon? that just makes it so much worse. i like my job, but why does it have to be so early? not that my kid isn’t an alarm himself. he’s really my alarm. i rarely ever use my real one. the boy is almost like clockwork.
Jessica
An alarm goes off in the back of my mind. Something isn’t quite right. You are setting off bells, warnings everywhere. I ignore them, pressing on into the deep unknown. Pressing on into you. But now, because of you, these alarms are stronger. Because of you I can no longer ignore the alarm. Because of you I woke up.
Hearing my familiar alarm in my memories reminds me of my time in college, waking up to it every day. It was a different time and somehow, I slept through the loud buzzing of it every now and then, but I at least usually woke up.
The alarm in my head sounds. I shouldn’t be doing this. But I press the snooze button and move on because somehow you are the one thing in my life that is real lately. The one thing that I feel is not going to leave me. I smile up at you because you get it. I can’t help to reach up on my toes and kiss your sweet lips.
I hate the fire alarm at school. It’s only gone off once this year for real, but they test it ALL the time. The sprinklers don’t even work in my building, so the fire safety system is faulty at best. Way to go, university. Keeping me safe as I pay my money, right?
I hate it when my alarm goes off in the morning. I would just like to hit snooze and sleep all day. My alarm is very annoying and I wish they didn’t exist. Alarms are the biggest pieces of shit that I know of.
Alison Petersen
My alarm woke me up to the sound of birds chirping. Not sure which one is louder yet. Most people hate alarms. I love them. They get me up to face a day. I don’t know what my day will hold, but I awake with high hopes. Some days I go to bed dreading the alarm because the day was bad. But tomorrow is a new day.
Sarah
there’s no such thing as an alarm, its the fucking people who must carry a fucking cartel with that damn word on it, because of all the bullshit that they spill out when its the worst moment, alarm is for the weak, just to warn our wisdom.
lola
my alarm didn’t go off this morning. i was awoken nearly half an hour late. i managed to get ready in ten minutes. a new record for me. it wasnt until half way through my class that i realized i was missing a vital component of my equipment, necessary for my next class. A sole item that decided my grade. Damn alarm
The sound that penetrates the eardrums of mankind every day made no difference in my head. No change in the jackhammering of my eardrums. I hear the sound, and yet am immune to it – not hearing it. Deaf to the tones, I close my eyes and go back to sleep.
Once I woke up to my alarm on my phone and I thought it was a bomb ticking away. I got so scared that I threw my phone against the wall. Then I realized if it really was a bomb that would not be a good idea since the bomb might explode. Now I have to buy a new phone all due to my imagination. :(
