Staying Alive

STAYING ALIVE

Awake!
Mixed feelings
The morning sensation
All fears   expectation
Still in place
Bold reluctance 
By responsibility replaced
Leech and drive on!
Reanimate! 
Rejuvenate!
Staying alive!

Loved the song with the same name Daver and now you bring it all alive. It takes a bold reluctance to face some days and sometimes staying in bed would be a better solution. Love your enthusiasm my friend; it is infectious!

I recall the John Travolta movie of that name, or the song's name. Yes, it's time to rejuvenate and not let one's fears hold one back. cool word, Leech!!
