awake



Many days I wake
 And wish to be elsewhere
 Not stuck in a life
 That can only hold disappointment and despair

 Before I rise I take a long breath
 Knowing the day ahead of me
 Is not something that i am looking forward to
 All the death and destiny

 Then I rise hoping it's a dream
 Then I realize that I'm still alive
 And I must go on with my day
 Doing everything I need to strive
