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.
