Awake

I’ve been living my life half asleep

And not realizing all that I keep

Just being holds so much promise

This darkness claws to hold me in

Keep me back, not let me win

A heart opened wishes not to close

Something has opened the skies

I work to rub sleep from my eyes

To live life to the fullest

The lies I want to put behind

And treasure the gold I now find

Not live my life unaware
