Sick
Aren’t you sick
of feeling sorry for yourself
of relying on someone else
to tell you if you’re happy
or not
Aren’t you sick
of bringing down others
by simply being in the room
keeping your face twisted into a bunch
of knots
Aren’t you sick
of staying home wishing
you could be someone else
and telling yourself life is filled
with have-not’s
Aren’t you sick
of playing victim to your feelings
of acting prisoner to your thoughts
your mind your actions
or not
When will you wake up
and realize that it’s not as bad
as it could be
you’re much more sad
than you should be
can’t you be glad
of where you would be
if you stopped
feeling
sorry
for yourself
So stand up
and stop whining
stop crying
stop writhing
You have the potential to accomplish so much more
than your are doing right now
you have the ability to take the world by storm
if you break past the barriers you have built
the limits you have dreamed
the lines you have drawn
Dawn has come.
So wake up
and stop feeling sorry for yourself
or before long you will no longer be given
the choice to rise
from that
oh
so
comfortable
bed
