Wake Up

"Sunrise" by Claude Monet

Wake up, girl!
Don’t you press that snooze button
one
more 
time…
Don’t do it. 
This revolving world doesn’t stop for
another fifteen minutes
until you’re ready to get ready,
so just
Wake Up!

It’s time, girl.
It’s YOUR time to
face the day
face the crisis
face the past
the heavy in your heart
the life you fear to start...
Wake up!
You can’t rely on distractions
to keep reality at bay,
not any more, I say, 
Not
Any 
More
So let’s get moving today.
Let’s make it happen,
all the “its” that’ve been waiting,
waiting on you to 
Wake up!
You gotta 
wake up, girl.

Gotta look in that mirror
and see the YOU
you need to express.
The one you hold back
The one you repress
The one that sleeps idle 
while the world’s getting dressed.
Life’s too short
to settle
for nothing but your best,
so just dig deep, girl.
Gotta get inspired.
And I know that 
you’re tired,
but feeling numb
and standing
still
is not an option.
Not
Any
More.
Climbing that 
hill
is the only way to 
Go
Burn
Fly
So wake your ass up, girl
and do it!
You know it,
all the “its” that’ve been waiting,
waiting on you to 
Wake Up!
You gotta 
wake up, girl.

Do the right thing.
Do right by YOU.
See? See what I said?
By YOU.
There’s no shame in
thinking about yourself,
as if you matter,
because you do.
Damn, girl, you do!
But you gotta wake up, first, 
see? 
Can you dig what I'm I saying?
Are you listening?
​Can you hear it?
All the “its” that’ve been waiting,
waiting on you to 
Wake Up!
You gotta 
wake up, girl.

Now’s the time.
That alarm is sounding.
Don’t you press snooze.
What are you gonna do?

There you go, girl.
There 
you 
go…
