I woke up today

Been living in a dream
Not any sort of special dream
Just the kind where nothing happens
I liked the fact that nothing happened
It felt safe
Actually, it didn't feel at all
Comatose
That is how I have lived
Comatose
That is not living
Comatose
Ignoring the fact that I do live
That I am alive
That there are others around me
And they suffer
And I dream
Wasting away
Wasting this gift of life
Wasting the opportunities of each day
Something is different today
Something is telling me
Begging me
To climb out of the grave
The grave I comfort in
Time keeps passing
I must take part in this game
Called life
