The person who said that nothing was impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.


Wake up
From that lie that you’ve been told.
Wake up.
You are mighty, strong, and bold.
Wake up,
For there is no way to sleep.
Wake up.
There are promises to keep.
Wake up
From that darkness that you hold.
Wake up.
Turn the energy to gold.
Wake up,
And remember who you are.
Wake up,
And your dreams won’t seem so far.
Wake up.
You still walk toward the dead end.
Wake up
To the rules that you must bend.
Wake up,
Or the sickness will defeat.
Wake up.
There are people here to meet.
Wake up,
And be glad that you are here.
Wake up.
It’s okay to shed a fear.
Wake up.
You are like everyone there.
Wake up.
Yet, you are unique and rare.
Wake up.
Someday you’ll be wild and free.

Wake up.
Spread your wings and fly with me.

To wake up is to realize what is going on around you, on a deeper level. I hope you enjoy reading this poem as much as I enjoyed writing it!
