waking up in the morning
saying
I'm such a *******
isn't the best way to start your day
when you're feeling a certain way
in your stomach
in your brain
you feel it come out
of your dreams
into your real life frame
and then
how can you explain
to the people around you
why you act insane
why you choose to be
so sad
not free
of the pain that is inside you
it consumes you
it says hey
how are you
good to see you
what did you dream about last night
and you don't even know
but you really do
because you wake up thinking
about a person
that isn't there
you wake up thinking
that they aren't really real
you wake up thinking
how do i continue to live
when i feel like this
how can i go about
making this pain go away
chase the pain with *******
slip a xanax
drink the night away
mushrooms
will make you think
feel good
relax
and trip
but if you have a bad trip
you'll lose grip
a sensation in your neck
telling you
something isn't right
you aren't at peace
with the world
or yourself
your reality
is a war
and you have to let go
so when you do
you can wake up in the morning
and feel good again
that's how i feel that this day
should always start
with optimism
and not rolling around
trying to keep sleeping
just because
you want to go back to your dream
and the way you felt
when you saw that person
because the dream meets the real
and the feeling you feel
is the reality crashing down on you
telling you that it is no longer
you will never see them again
only when you sleep
so wake up
get something to eat
go for a jog
continue
be free
there's a new day
a new world
a new love
that will find you
but first
you must love yourself
and you can start doing that by
being happy
