Wake Up

“Wake up” I am trapped in my sleep
“Wake up” I want to be free
“Wake up” so I can feel
I don’t want to be scared
Nobody in the real world cares about me
Oh well, does it matter?
“Wake up” so I can be prepared
I want to run away from nightmares
This place is unfair
I want to walk up the stairs so I can see the light
“Wake…..Up”….”Wake up”
“Wake… Up”
So I can stand up
I won’t give up!
“Wake up!”

You are a deep feeler, I suspect there are many who love you deeply. The reality is that we are all scared in one way or another. If you are dealing with deppresion your dark feelings can be amplified but it doesn't make them true. I don't know you but I wish I could give you a hug.

It's an appealing poem. Don't give up, stay awake, Yeisiel.
