Trees dance in the heavy wind
As the rain begins to spit
The ground freezes my bare feet
I think I rather sit
Now sitting in the mud puddle
Of icy treacherous hell
Alone in this harsh world
My eyes begin to swell
To blank to stay awake
I lie in dirty solitude
I cry my eyes frozen shut
And awakened very rude
To a sun blaring down on me
I’m in a field of grass
How long have I been sleeping?
When did this storm pass?
Why is everything so cheery?
Where is the dirt that covered my body?
What is everyone so content with?
Everyone raced around but no one saw me
I look up to the faceless crowds
As one man stops to help me rise
“You’ve been asleep for years
My dear, open up your eyes”
I look down to sagging skin
Oh the years that I have aged!
Spent to long with eyes wide shut
My life is what I waged
I need to catch up with the rest
I wipe away my tears
Sick of hiding in morbid solitude
I've wasted all these years
