wake up, wake up! another day unfolds it's face in this space.

a place people call home, to you, just a house's grace.

a place with kin around, labelled family, to you, merely humans pace. 

in a world where freedom shouts,

others roam, but you're left out. 

where friendships bloom, in realms unseen by you.

where others connect, yet not for you. 



wake up, wake up! it's another day to follow.

another day to endure a truth, a bitter pill to swallow.

another day feeding on thoughts, dark and hollow. 

when others revel, your moments are drowned in shadows.

when others to work they go, yet for you,

it's a different path, askew. 



wake up, wake up! it's another day to curse. 

to meet your reflection, silent dialogue, grimace and begin a bitter course. 

to question your existence and censure of course. 

where others find joy, yours tainted by an unseen force. 

where others smile, a universal cue,

but yours, alas, a universal doom. 



wake up, wake up! it's another day to learn how to go through today. 

to clean off the tears and get high on some stuff. 

to be semi-naked at home with my fave songs on replay. 

when others explore, you dance in your cage till you've had enough. 

when others live on, you sink deeper into this abyss that you rough.



_asalahhh.
