Wake Up Poem by Stephanie Sanchez

Forget
Don’t think about it
Stop dreaming
Wake up
So many thoughts going through my mind
None of them true
How could I forget?
How could I not think about it?
I can’t control my dreams
But I don’t want to wake up from them either
It’s just there
You’re just there
I can’t help it
I can’t wake up from this painful dream
Wake up, I tell myself
But I can’t
So I just lay here
Waiting for something to happen
I’ve been waiting here for too long
And nothing has happened
So now it’s my turn to take action
Wake up, Wake up
Stop dreaming
Get up, Get up
See now I’m over you
