A new begining

I had to wake up 

I had been asleep for far too long

Drowning in my thoughts of unending misery

A perspective I painted alone

Suddenly I realized I accomplished nothing

I was no different than any other person 

standing in that room

The reality struck me, cold, stern, unyeilding,

I realized I was asleep in my mind and 

if....I remained as I am

I will head no where

Lost

Eternally in my own thoughts

Would my dreams lay asleep as old ghosts in shadows

No More! No Longer!

For Today I choose to Awake!

Today I choose to Rise!

Today I choose to Rise!

For Today I choose to Awake!

No More, No Longer, 

Would my dreams lay asleep as old ghosts in shadows

Eternally in my own thoughts

Lost

I will head no where

if... I remained as I am

I realized I was asleep in my my own mind

The reality struck me, cold, stern, unyielding

Standing in that room,

I was no different than any other person

Suddenly I realized I accomplished nothing

A perspective I painted alone

Drowning in my own thoughts of unending misery

I had been asleep for far too long

I had to wake up
