Wake up

Wake up My father says in the late afternoon And unfortunately, I do I do the thing i’ve been hating for so long Wake up My mother says, late in the afternoon Another day of realising I have to live, be alive That’s the thought that’s with me all the time Wake up My brother says I prepare myself for another miserable day And I try not to act like i’m fine Wake up They all yell, terrified This time, I can’t do what they say My lifeless body stays still as they shake it And cries echo through the room I finally got what I wanted

to think of the deep Love your parents and brother have for you, many care and love you while darkness is out to destroy sadly, we are left to ponder on this not being the end , as you witness them crying over you. There is a soul within us going through a spiritual war, longing for God to fill with His love, peace, joy, comfort and guidance but there is this evil at work to keep one from receiving this, May God Instill you with His peace, love, spirit,joy,rest for your soul in a newfound life
