Wake Me Up


I am…

A dreamer.

Someone who searches for something that is only a fathom in existence.

Maybe it’s acceptance

Or

Maybe it’s time to try again.

Even though “next time” won’t be promising.

We all want something

And find out there will be nothing.

Some people just exist

And dream that one day they will become something.

I need to stop being a dreamer.

I want to wake up and live.

I want to be something. 

Wake me up…
