Awake.

And let it be proclaimed,

that I

that I

that I

have climbed up from the treacherous ditch.

With scars to boast upon my weary arms

and

earth clinging to my nails.

Many months I lay in the dark dirt

with the grand, sparkling crystals over head.

Stars existing to mock

how much I can’t reach what I wanted.

What I thought I wanted.

What I thought I needed.

And now I don’t need.

And now I don’t want.

Because I was saved.

And now I sleep to dream, and not to escape.

I live for the sake of Life, and not just to wait.

There’s no need for waiting now.

I am awake.
