Seize or be seized

Seize or be Seized 

I wake 6, sleepy
I wake up I will win I feel this deeply
I will not let them take my joy 
I am not a toy

I arrive at 8, awake
I will win and take,
Take this day,
Take the suns golden ray

I sleep at 9, victoriously
I took the day it did not take me,
I won today, I will tomorrow 
I will win and swim not drown in sorrow
