Wake Up

red lights, green lights

plain faces that empty full places

those uneventful summer nights

bleak words shared with no one you truly know

you’ll say “why’d they have to go”

but you never realize that you’re the one that left

routines that become grim, but they are kept anyway

you don’t stop to think that this is absurd

that you are living in your imagination

you just keep up the impeccable deeds

oh wait, that’s wrong

these ways are far from okay

you need to be shaken, you need to be woken up

WAKE UP

this is not reality that you are from

things are different, things are far more real than accustomed

there is so much more to this world than you know

you just need to learn how to be

learn how to think outside

learn how to be different

don’t be one of these carbon copies, that’s just wrong

you are meant to be unique

you are meant to be special

because you are one of a kind
