I Woke Up Again!

TRIGGER WARNING
I wrote this as a reflection of my childhood and adolescence. It’s very emotional for me and I’m not the best writer.

It’s morning, I woke up again
My dream did not come true
I guess I will face the world today
Although my thoughts are blue

Will they make it hard for me
To enjoy my life at all
Will I be the butt of jokes
Even though my tears they fall

No one seems to care about me
I feel like I’m ignored
My spirit has been broken
Will anyone know I’m scorned

I tried to take it all away
The heartache and the pain
I wanted to remove myself
From the world and their ugly games

It’s so easy for you to hurt me
To take away my joy
What purpose does it serve you
But to kill me oh so slow

Maybe tomorrow I won’t wake up
Like a prisoner set free
This prison of my body
I hate the image I see

So you are right, I have no worth
You’d be happy if I left this world
You’d never care at all
I guess I will leave this world

Wait, No, You have no power over me
I will and have risen above
What you wanted me to be
I am a survivor, A warrior for myself

To live, To Love, To be loved
Beautiful and Important
That is what I am
I’ll be here tomorrow to show you that I can!
