My heart pushed blood into my head tonight
And I came up with a late epiphany.
I’ve been sleeping in a fairytale
Waiting for my cougar status
With my Prince.
Then I waited for a Man,
Waited for a Boy,
For a Person…

Hello? Anybody? Still here...
I woke up with a Start, blurry Centers
With clear Edges.
****.
I’ve been in love with a dream within a dream,
Not of my own.

But then I thought….How long?
How long do I keep on dreaming, when the moonlight
Peeks through my stained glass, hoping I see?
I don’t need to wait for the stars of Fortune,
look up at Her Wheel.

The dream has ended;
my door opens...
*Time to Wake Up.
