Awake

I am awake,

they tell me it is safe to sleep,

but my eyes are open;

and I see the fear.

I am awake,

they try to make me sleep,

but my eyes are open;

and I see the hate.

I am awake,

they fight hard to put me to sleep,

but my eyes are open;

and I fight harder.

I am awake,

they want me to sleep,

but the world has changed before my eyes;

new vision of old truths and I realize.

I finally see

what the truth is telling me;

I am awake,

and they are asleep.
