Awakening

By Shane

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

In the morning I wake up And I feel dead It takes me quite a while To figure out my head I’m trying, To find what’s left of me Searching for things, lost inside of me In the morning it takes me quite a while To become myself again As I lye awake I miss my dream Of living, A life I’ve given to me I’m trying To kill what’s given to me I’m dying, to see what I’ll let me be In the morning, I hold my head in my hands And I die again I’m awoken by life itself As it hit’s me, knocks me to the floor I’m trying, To live life given to me I wonder, why I bother to be In the morning it takes me quite a while To clear my head, as I lye alone I think to myself, I’ll die in the bed Stay here for the rest of my days, until I’m dead I’m trying To raise from this cemetery I’m dying, ‘cos my body won’t let it be Written March 19th, 2002 © on Mar 19 2002 01:04 AM PST   10 • 0
