11 August 1998
Wake Up

Brand new perspective
As the world changes before my eyes.
Seemingly harsh words hold more truth than
My self-consoling lies.

A selfish care, from the unresolved.
Not everything is done or meant for me.
I walk out, leaving my thoughts behind
And then stare at the locked door
-I forgot my key-

Need the uninvolved to tell it how it is
I will be left behind if I don't wake up from this dream.
Looking to the future now, another light I see
As someone has figured out exactly what I mean.

I tell myself to wake up, as this new day brings to me
A reason why my thoughts will, this time, set me free.
