What to Remember When Waking
In that first moment
When you wake
Coming from
The one world
Where anything is possible.
Where you can have
All the riches in the world.
Where you’re strong and powerful
Where you actually having a girlfriend
And no one picks on you
Where you feel loved and wanted.
In that first moment
When you wake
It all goes away
That first moment
When your mom
Comes into your room yelling
“Wake up for school”
You open your eyes and see
It’s all gone.
You finally come to grip with reality
And you look at the worlds mess
Feeling hopelessly lost and alone.
But just remember
When you wake
There’s one thing
You need
And that’s courage
To change
Your situation
