Awaken I Am
Capture
I’m lost
I’m shallow
I’m crushed
I’m hollow

Expectations amounted all on my own
Under standards I’ve made
And I’m yet to learn
I have faltered in a maze
Of misdirect
I’m heartless, resentful
With no love and no return
Moving in circles
I forgot what I once was
I forgot what I want to be
Moving in order
This stone was once a fortress
A trinket in my chest
I see a widening fire
It was selfish and narrow
Living with awareness
Once repeating
Patiently we waited
Time goes on
Save all these years in an echo
Waste them on ears
That are indisposed
Like I’m waiting for my
Body to grow older
