I woke up from a lonely dream
It reminded me of the life I lead
One of loneliness and self doubt
Confused by what life's all about
Friendless due to my selfish ways
Hoarding all the love I have,
I ought to be resigned to give away

Instead, I grow more bitter
More distant from the crowd
I fear my love will wither
Follow me into the ground
Unaware what might have been
If only I had made a sound
Been a little more outspoken
Maybe hollering out loud
Telling everyone just how I feel
Going the extra mile
All while moving leaps and bounds

It's time I awaken from my slumber
From the cave in which I dwell
Try and replicate bits of heaven
That thou-shalt-not end up lost, stuck in a living hell
Expand my impractical horizons
Give of myself to those in need
Release all that's stayed held within
Undaunted; un-afraid to bleed
There is more truth in this poem than I dare care to admit
