Wake Up

By VagrantGypsy

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Wish you would wake up from that life you dreamThe nightmare is catching up to you and I know you won't see it comingThe sun is rising and theres no time for you to pull the covers over your headYou've hit the sleep button too many times and are out of optionsSoon the rays of reality will creep through the closed blinds of your window and burn your faceYou have to get up but I know you'll just roll over and Pull the blankets over your head to hide from the sunThat's fine because I'm afraid to wake up too butThe day the shade falls off your window there will be nothing left to block you from the truthI don't wanna get up either but the light is in my eye and I can't sleep Written November 11th, 2001 © on Nov 22 2001 03:11 AM PST   18 • 0 • 10
