Wake from the Past.

Wake up. O awake.
I'm letting go, getting free
setting up a new story.
It's time to awake
to a dream afresh
to a dream unknown
Time to wake from
a past so dreary
memories so broken
Wake up now. Wake up.
I can't do this anymore
Lingering memories
in the form of bodies
that carry unfamiliar faces
and now I know
as I've grown, they stayed
the past is not the same
Wake up now. Wake up.
The past is no longer a friend.
No the past, the present,
are friends no more.
It's time to wake to the future
Time to set myself free
to take courage for a new story
My story. A story all my own.
Wake up now. Wake up.
