Wake Up

How did I get here? Where is my self worth?
Yet here I am, and there is no escape
It’s time to face a monster reality
Those moments have passed,
There is no going back.

There once was a love that rivaled
The sonnets of Shakespeare, the lyrics of Keats
Better to have loved and lost?
Better to have never loved at all?
What use is there to dwell?

I try to breathe but find that I’m drowning
My lungs are filling… vision dimming
Moments flash….memories long past
This can’t be how it ends…

WAKE UP
