from 'Morning Song from "Senlin,"' by Conrad Aiken
It is morning, Senlin says, and in the morning When the light drips through the shutters like the dew, I arise, I face the sunrise, And do the things my fathers learned to do. Stars in the purple dusk above the rooftops Pale in a saffron mist and seem to die, And I myself on swiftly tilting planet Stand before a glass and tie my tie...
Not inspiring or meaningful, just subtle and hilarious:

Can't drown my demons, they know how to swim
--Can you feel my heart (Bring me the Horizon)
I know how high the grass will grow We'll leave our skins outside the door It will be like it was before I forgot I was alive

I have a couple.
