Awaken
written by: Vickie Mryczko

Sleeping on cold, plastic air
A Queens
inevitable
comfort and despair
Cushioned concrete
beneath my head
Or in a box
thinking I’m dead
My closest allies are in my dreams
Protecting me now
under gentle moon beams
How did I come to this place
Unrecognizable defeat upon my face
Make pretend all is well
My situation
no person I will tell
Awaiting my time to finally arrive
Fake laughter and smiles
all given in stride
Lack surrounds my very being
Praying for miracles
upon my seeing
Comforting darkness crawls on me
Oh, dear God
make this not be
I still search for a loving light
But so tired now
relinquishing the fight
Wake me from this darkened hole
Pinch my flesh
and please awaken my soul…
I am a single mom, who has been through some stuff. I have always enjoyed writing. There is no greater joy than being able to share my words, written or spoken. My hope is to be able to inspire healing, confidence and self motivation.
