Awake Poem by Sareena Asrar

Awake



I'm not being faithful
I'm trying to endure
The only thing I can do
Is this

I want to stay
I want to dream a little more
But still
It is time to leave

Yeah it's my truth
It's my truth
It's probably covered in scars
But it's my fate
It's my fate
But I want to struggle

Maybe I, I can never fly
Like the flower petals over there
I can't become like those with wings
Maybe I, I can't touch the sky
But I want to stretch my arm
I want to run just a little bit

I am just walking and walking in this darkness
Happy times asked me
If I am really okay
Oh no
I answered, no I am very frightened
But I tightly hold six flowers
And I'm only walking
Oh no

But it's my fate
It's my fate
But I want to struggle

Maybe I, I can never fly
Like the flower petals over there
I can't become like those with wings
Maybe I, I can't touch the sky
But I want to stretch my arm
I want to run just a little bit

Wide awake Wide awake Wide awake
Don't cry
Wide awake Wide awake Wide awake
No lie
Wide awake Wide awake Wide awake
Don't cry
Wide awake Wide awake Wide awake
No lie

Maybe I, I can never fly
Like the flower petals over there
I can't become like those with wings
Maybe I, I can't touch the sky
But I want to stretch my arm
I want to run
Just a little bit
