Years ago, I ran.
Years ago, I was proud.
Years ago, I was afraid.
Years ago, was my time.
Yesterday, I was still asleep.
Yesterday, I was still silent.
Yesterday, I was still hidden.
Yesterday, I was still afraid.
Today, the silence has drained me.
Today, I have no more sleep to find.
Today, the sun has found my cave.
Today, my fears have started to melt away.
Tomorrow, I will give up all I held on to.
Tomorrow, I will do without, for the one thing I want...need.
Tomorrow, I will pay the price of getting back that from which I ran,
For it will not be given freely anymore.
Tomorrow, I will go after the one person I've truly love.
Tomorrow, I will drop my sword and shield...and fight.
I'm waking up.
