Facing Reality

Looking at my reflection intaking what I see,

do I see who I am, or am I being deceived.

Drifting away to an empty dream
I open my eyes to face my reflection,
a smile creeps upon my face,
but is it real, or am I just faking it?

Time to time I wonder what's my purpose,

I wonder what will lie ahead,
sometimes it feels like I drift into utopia
but it seems it slowly tearing me apart.

I got to wake up, wake up
I must face my reality,
no more hiding,
no more lies,
I must be truthful to myself,
but it seems the more I try

I lock myself away within my shell.

Sometimes I wonder how I ended up here,

sometimes I wonder if my heart is being honest with me,

the truth is I just ending puting a mask on,

a mask that veils my truth,

when will I learn?

when will this mask fade away?

I don't want to lose myself!

I got to wake up, wake up
I must face my reality,
no more hiding,
no more lies,
I must be truthful to myself,
but it seems the more I try

I lock myself away within my shell.

(wake up, wake up) is this my time?

(wake up, wake up) am I losing my mind?

(wake up, wake up) I got to wake the f**k up!

The mask I wear shuttered before me,

no mask to veil my truth,

I, now know I must face reality,

the journey to accept my fate

must start now before is too late,

before I lose the last sense of myself.

(wake up, wake up)
(wake up, wake up)

I'll tear my fantasy to shreds!

So I can..

Wake up, wake up
I must face my reality,
no more hiding,
no more lies,
I must be truthful to myself,
I have to face my reality
I know I'm not alone,
must give in to start anew
I got to wake up, wake up,
to face the truth.

Sometimes our biggest fear is our own reflection and if we will be happy with what we see. Sometimes going through the motions of life makes you forget who you were meant to be. I can relate to your poem and I commend you for writing it. Give it time and you will find your true voice again.

Thank you. I write because is the healthiest thing I could think of to release my emotions.

By writing i think you're headed in the right direction. There has to be a release somewhere. Hopefully it's helping. Even if only a little bit.
