Awake.
There are moments in life
Where you are sleepy.
Where you let things happen
Where you just let it ride
Let it roll.
I do it, I’ve done it.
But I don’t like it.
I like the kicking and screaming.
The barbaric yawp sounding,
The feisty fight.
The burst of your inner warrior.
I’m a lover and a fighter.
But I’ve also been a wait-er.
A run all the scenario-er.
A settled in the deep groove-er
What wakes one up?
Is it self-awareness?
Someone telling you truth?
News from a doctor, lawyer, your best friend?
A birthday?
An election?
Whatever it is.
Bring it on.
I’d rather look all the things and stuff of life in the eye
Than have it come up behind me
And knock me for a loop.
Awake.
Alive.
Kicking.
Be a warrior.
Foot on the pedal
Never ever false metal
Engine running hotter than a boiling kettle
My job ain’t a job
It’s a damn good time
City to city I’m running my rhymes.
No sleep till…*
DAY SIX, 28-day #lovechange challenge.
“Those who don’t feel this love pulling them like a river, those who don’t drink dawn like a cup of spring water or take in sunset like supper, those who don’t want to change, let them sleep.” ~Rumi
