To Sleep to Wake All Over Again


Who am I?

It all started with that path

Since the first day I’ve come by

When the priest gave me that bath

 

 It’s silly, I used to be so confident

So oblivious and spoke my mind

Days go by, I am more bent

My own self and body are in a bind

 

Society began to eat me away

I only did what they expected

Even when I could do more my way

I became average, my face could not be read

 

My friends are now gone

I know it was my fault

Still don’t know why I’ve withdrawn

In fear, I only shut myself in a vault

 

Did my best to make amends

New relations, tried to be less useless

But time took my old friends

In the end I was just a nuisance

 

I’m on my final year

Admitting all of my guilt

Instead of being extraordinary here

Look at all the shyness I built

 

But with my realization

I will give it my hardest

Prove my determination

To make my final time the best

 

With my new head held high

No more dissolving

Who am I?

I am evolving
