AWAKE

Hush now, sleep,

Don't open your eyes.

The world around you

Likes its disguise.

I woke up this morning,

I don't really know why.

Why would one aim to fail?

Why would one aim to cry?

A fabled life beckons,

Offers me a chance.

They pull the strings,

They make me dance.

We fade from the world,

Fall to the past.

A series of days

Destined to last.

I woke up this morning,

To tell a story repeated wrong

To tell you I awoke this morning,

From a slumber 16 years long.

Thanks for reading. Please review. I'd love to know what you think.
