Rude Awakening

Another rude awakening
The hard life that’s been our school
More of a cruel day’s reckonings
Our prime time used up too soon

There is no kindness to waste
Why help those crying for more?
It spins you around
Takes you for a ride
What is the point to even try?
Somehow got to learn to accept the rejection

The tired thoughts from troubling
A weary mind from worrying
Your constant fears upon wakening
Your real life left in your dreams
