Awakening

"Every single day's the same

And in the end I'm all alone..."

"It doesn't matter what you say...

I feel pain you've never known"

 

This is how you view your life

As something worth throwing away

And all I wish for is to show you

How to view it a different way

 

You view the world in black and white

Without any specks of grey

You chose to focus on only the bad

Which causes your own dismay

 

The real world is full of color

It's a giant work of art

And though it has some shadows

That is just one little part

 

So when all you see is darkness

And you feel life's become too glum

Just remember that it won't last

And there are brighter things to come

 

There is beauty all around you

And every day is a new surprise

Full of joy, and people who care

You just have to open your eyes
