I Wake Up


I wake up alone, in the beginnings of sunlight.

I wake up and yawn, and i look at the dark sky.

I wake up and walk down, eat my ration, then go outside.

I wake up and go learn, to a place where I'm just an outcast.

I wake up and frown, when my emotions are exiled.

I wake up and my owner crown; can't be myself for a little while.

I wake up and dream about, the tunnel's foretold light.

I wake up and lay down, I look up at the night.

I wake up in threshold, as I rouse with a fright,

for even though I wake up, I can't seem to catch flight.
