The Awakening

I have been slumbering for a while.

Asleep not of my own volition

Trapped in a deep abyss that is my disturbed mind

Drifting in and out of consciousness

I liked being asleep

I liked not having to be aware of my surroundings

I liked the peace that came with not caring

I liked the quiet that came with dissociation

Or did I not?

I was in a constant state of agony

The future looked very bleak indeed

Trapped in a quagmire of my own making

Now it is time to stop dreaming

It is time to awaken

It is time to breathe again

It is time to be free.
