Wake Up
I once had a dream
of being lost in the woods.
It was dark, and scary
I couldn't find anyone
or a way out.
So I wander in the dark
sad, and alone.
I look to the Moon, and Stars
dimly lighting my way.
When the night ended
and the sun rose
I was still lost in the woods
no matter how dark or bright it seems.
I'm still wandering
lost in the woods
lonely, and exhausted.
With no one to talk to,
and nowhere to sit
I'm alone
Wandering the woods.
I stumble along a rocky path
I trip
and fall down
I follow the rocky path
I wanted out of the dark forest
but it led me to a clearing
Bright and full of life
This is good too
I spin around my happy place
then I start to fall
It all fades to black
Then I hear the dark voice
"Wake Up"
