Waking Up in Poetry

The only way to live
Is to understand how to die
For death creates
And life decays
The dream humanity perceives
Is a fight between
Illusion and delusion
Until you understand
To create your own destiny
In the palm of your hand

When you wake up
You realize that no one cares
An apathetic world
Struggling with
Materialistic desires
Everything burns in the fire
And all it takes is an hour

We are all here
But on the inside
We are all above
In and out
Dazed, tossed up, and undone
Frozen in what was
Dreaming in the waters that
Whisper to your beginnings
Until unspoken death
Creeps up in a fog
Breathing to come out of
All the diseases that are now

NOW
If all the knowledge
Could come together
Combine into one
One left to combine
Lost in time
Spacing moments
Between life and death
While separating tears from a blink of an eye
Trapped by the fears that you betray
In a world that is so fucking strange
