I alone stand naked for my neighbour
I alone am honest to my brother
I walk, in this vulnerable state
Unafraid, in a moment I now know, will only continue Finally, for I have taken something
Finally, for I have discovered something Finally
For I, have, achieved
One thing
Finally As I, have given, everything
It is in this self-proclaimed acknowledgement
That I feel a moment I know will last
More than a moment, in a life moving so fast
Content and completely satisfied is how I finally feel
Sincere with my presence
Honest, with my essence Understanding the importance of my lessons Knowing that I have a purpose, one with a message
Know I, can say, like I have so many times before
That today, “I am happy”
There is no other word that can define me There is no other feeling that I have ever tried so hard, to understand more
There is no other truth, in which I have strangled, so many times before There is no other state, that I know, to be this true That is this lit, because of what I have done, and will only continue to do
Even when the walls all around
Try their hardest to darken this way
And try their hardest, to darken, my ground The sun sets And the mind rests
Though too excited, to go to sleep But looking forward
To waking up I have unclothed myself from shame
I have put down the burden of guilt, I have passed on the blame And I've done this because I have had so much help along the way Since I first got sick Since the tunnel got dark
Since I first travelled, along this path Since I first stumbled, alone, towards my reflection's wrath
Trying to find my way For so many seemingly, endless, fucking, terrible, days
So as to find, this day
So as to feel, today
In a manner I can only describe as
This
So as to find, my way
So as to want to do nothing, but sit where I am
And just stay
I just want to stay awake
I just want to stay awake
I just want to stay awake
I just want to stay here
And see,
Tomorrow
Too
