I Woke Up


I woke up Unwilling, unmotivated, exhausted I woke up I woke up To the sight of black and a sound so similar I woke up I woke up Not because I want to but have to I woke up I woke up For same reason as yesterday and the day before I woke up I woke up To push myself to the limit I woke up I woke up To knock myself down but to get back up I woke up I woke up Not just for the physical but the mental I woke up I woke up To learn for hours on end I woke up I woke up To finish the work I didn't do before I woke up I woke up To face the pains and stresses of life I woke up I woke up To again push my body to the limit I woke up I woke up For the gain of repetition I woke up I went to sleep Not because I have to but I want to I went to sleep I went to sleep To the sight of black and a sound so similar I went to sleep I went to sleep Willing, motivated, yet still exhausted I went to sleep I went to sleep To do it all again tomorrow I woke up
