get up*
if you keep begging for life's cooperation
all you'll get is more exhaustion than you already have
collapsing on the kitchen floor after your long day of nothing
wishing the bottle of wine wasn't so far out of reach
glancing at the hour to be sure
to reassure
its not yet time
no
its only been a few moments
and already your motivation is buried
overwhelmed by your pressing thoughts
get up
get up
deal with yourself and lift yourself off of the hard, cold ground
stand alive and breathe
like you once told me
for i was once you too
i know you are stuck, firmly planted in hells dark corners
but just remember
all the songs
you used to sing
all the places of which you'd dream
all the things
all the faces
and get up for gods sake
look life in the eyes
and with your demons face it
