Wake Up
How often
I’ve wished for things
Seemingly out of reach
How often
I’ve prayed for answers
Without opening myself to be taught
Where has time gone
All I recall are tears cried
While I’ve mourned
Through this storm of uncertainty
Trying to understand
Just exactly
What is hurting me
Trying to see
The world as it is
My downfall
Is not comprehending
What it cannot give
Even as I’ve lived
And obtained these truths
I’ve surpassed to manifest
Such knowledge in my youth
Is my gravest travesty
What’s always been known to others
Is new to me
Making me see images
That were once rejected by sight
Making a mockery of the world
I’ve seen the majority of my life
Internally I fight
Against my morals in vain
To let go
Is to be released
From this pain
To let go
I became as others
Leaving behind the mirage
I’ve sustained
