Person I Long to be

A ray of light shines in
Day has awoken
Yet I lay here sleepless
My body is weary
Running in overdrive
My mind overworked
I lay awake thinking
I feel unsure
Something is missing
I need to escape this cycle
no longer able to endure
My days seem to never change
Like a broken record
Over and over they play
The tide carries me along
This is not me
I need to change
But I’m unable to break free
From this everyday stream
Needing to be unbound
the grasp of ordinary has taken hold
Clenched so tight
Its getting hard to breath
Yet my hope stays strong
I can change
Become that person
The one I long to be
Express myself in every way
Conquer these dreams
Putting my mind to rest
Then I may fall to asleep
Now more capable
To make changes in my life
Help out those in need
Touch people lives In a positive way
And leave my mark on society
Before I fade away.
