I woke up today.

I looked around and was confused by what I saw.

I learned to question my surroundings.

I ended up questioning my reflection instead.

I opened my eyes today.

I saw colors in a different manner than before.

I felt an ache I had long forgotten was there.

I no longer felt I was still at home.

I shed a tear today.

I remember past promises I had made.

I wept for the dreams I buried under the rug.

I screamed for the shame I suddenly uncovered.

I woke up today.

I realized my life is not what it seems.

I decided I must make a change on my own.

I found the broken soul I wished I could have forgetten.
