Today I woke up
slept through three of my classes
and slept for another two hours
in the afternoon
It's funny how before
I would've freaked out
for being called lazy
and doing minimal work all day
If I didn't do sports
If I didn't finish homework
If I didn't get praise
If I didn't win a medal
Was I really successful?
My lifestyle is different now
It seems kind of scary
from when my head leaves the pillow
to when it returns
Sometimes I forget
I'm growing up
My definition of success
is changing as well
But today I checked the mail
I brushed my hair
I ate a meal
and I washed the dishes
As long as I can hear
the birds outside my window
I can say
that I'm successful

On the other side of the wall
I imagine that
the gentle stars and resting trees
only stretch to where the sky ends
On the other side of the wall
I imagine that
lonely cries and wishful sighs
only exist at where the sea sleeps
On the other side of the wall
I imagine that
people's embraces and smiles
linger a little longer
On the other side of the wall
I imagine that
the world is the same
but there, the snow melts
On the other side of the wall
I think that
I could gaze at the tearful clouds
without feeling alone
But these things
I will never know
until I climb
