Arise
The night has been lingering
Before I could realize it was morning
The sky has been dim
Before I could recognize the beam
Even my phone has been silent
Before I could glimpse several miss calls
Not to forget my all-time weak body
Before I could spy my inner strength
Yes I could awake for my fight.
Waking up is an added chance
We always need to accomplish the unfinished projects
How was I fooled that am still stripling?
Is it the same mind that calls for the awakening?
Till when will I be waiting?
Just for years to turn by and by
Only to realize it was heading to the senile state
Am highly indebted that the morning came
In order to light the chilly part of my life.
Well, yesterday I was dizzy I couldn't get busy
But today am inclined not to be declined
On getting the truth about what am destined towards
If I could tell, turning to this day wasn't easy
I remember on the witching hour when my body was off-peak
Nothing good nothing bad I attested there
Just the buzzing sounds at the husk of the net
Accompanied by saunter southeast winds
Imagine how candied this dimness was
I thought this was for the cradle to the grave
Only to cognize the shiny nature of today
Despite the nature I was still disturbed
By the wintry onshore breeze
That penetrated to the uncovered parts
While I was admiring the new dawn
There wasn't a hombre to compel me
Or even pummel the closed from inside door
Paradoxically the alarm sounded unheard
Adapting to the new dawn became out of my depth
Should I say I was in a dilemma?
Yes and I had to make a choice
A choice in line to my unrealized capability
A choice that I was to evince personally
A choice that had nothing to with the night
To ensure that each and every action will be right
This was the one and only choice I had
The choice was and is to ARISE.
