Today, I chose to wake up

Today,

I chose to wake up as a warrior,

Ruling a grey world,

That’s entrapped me into a hectic whirl.

Today,

I chose to wake up with wisdom,

Wisdom of a society,

That expects to be seen as royals;

That they make you into slaves,

To hide their disgusting ego.

A society I've been a long victim to.

Today,

I chose to wake up,

Wake up with a will to live,

To push as far as I can.

Seeking the mirage of dreams,

In the sea of clouds that birds swim.

Tho, there's only as far a bird could go,

Until it awakens with a magnitude of dull woes.

Sigh.

Today,

I chose to wake up.
