Awake

My eyes open and I’m awake 

I have made it to another day 

I just need a break 

What can I do to stop this ache

To convince me to want to stay 

Is there a way to keep me awake 

What difference could anything make

I would continue to turn fray 

Making it easier for me to break 

My soul began to shake 

I become my own prey

Terrified at staying awake

My whole world now quakes 

It’s getting harder to continue this way 

Will the heavens give me a break

The life I lead feels fake 

I won’t bloom for May

I will fall asleep after I awake 

Taking an everlasting break
