I Woke Up Poem by Luz Hanaii

I Woke Up

Rating: 5.0


You need the spot light, the fans, the applause
Smiles, shining and charming persona
To live your dream, smoke and mirrors
It was all good, till your mask dropped off

I can't deny it, I had fun while it lasted, I enjoyed the ride
But I can no longer be there, for I've downed the red pill
I need the brutal truth and reality, my freedom, my peace
For all the said, unsaid, for all I did or failed to do, I apologize
Is not that I didn't love you
It's that I woke up

ONE: Such most sensitive lines and words, the most beautiful but very sad are the two last lines, I cite here: Is not that I didn't love you It's that I woke up............................................This is metaphorically uttered/ worded............WOW! You must know that with LOVE, WE NEED NEVER APOLOGIZE, Love is the WORD to feel comfortable, and IF you still have the emotions or the URGE to say I APOLOGIZE, no this is not the way to do......I reckon

You did not wake up too late, thank goodness. It was all 'smoke and mirrors' after all.
