THE AWAKENING
There comes a time in life when you get tired of living for folks
living your life only to please them,
Doing whatever they ask of you, whenever and however
Always making excuses for them, thinking about them and trying to figure out what they think of your every move, words and actions
As they try playing the role of judge, jury and executioner in your life

There comes a time when it’s no longer about the crowd
When it’s no longer about friends
When it’s no longer about what they think of you, your actions nor what they say
When it’s no longer about who they conceive you to be
Based on some unforeseen circumstances- circumstances beyond your control
There comes a time when you have to just STOP trying to please everyone
And make it all about YOU
Make YOU come first
Make it YOUR life, YOUR love, YOUR choice, and YOUR rules
And hey!
Now is that time
Stop seeing yourself as broken
Don’t let them look at you that way
Like you are torn apart and merely hanging on
Stop the hiding
Let go of the shadows
I know it may be hard for you
But be set to live out the real YOU
To give your world what’s inside of YOU
