Wide Awake Poem by Bleeding Heart

Wide Awake
It's late at night.
The rest of the world is resting.
Yet, I am sitting in my room.
I am Wide Awake.
I am staring out my window.
Tonight there is a full moon.
It casts a beautiful glow everywhere.
I am Wide Awake.
I see thousands upon thousands of stars.
I can see constellations as well.
I marvel at this beautiful world.
I am Wide Awake.
I wonder what the world be like if we were more like them.
I wonder what the world would be like if they could love.
I wonder what the world would be like if they could dream.
I am Wide Awake.
Sometimes I wish I didn't live in this world.
Sometimes I wish that I was a star.
Sometimes I wish I could be seen in the midnight sky.
I am Wide Awake.
I stare at the midnight sky.
Marveling at its serene yet majestic beauty.
Why can't our world be more like that?
I am Wide Awake.
The moon is casting off a bluish glow.
Its glow passes through the glass of my window.
Tears are running down my face.
I am Wide Awake.
I have gone through so much pain.
Yet, when I gaze at the majestic beauty that lies before me.
My heart is filled with hope.
I am Wide Awake.
Recently, things have gotten even harder for me.
I have gone through a lot of change in short period of time.
I wasn't ready for this kind of change.
I am Wide Awake.
The pain from my past still aches inside.
But it is starting to ache less.
And at this single moment…
I feel no pain at all.
I feel only hope.
I am Wide Awake.
I lower the blinds of my window.
I climb into my bed.
I pull up the covers.
I close my eyes.
I lay me down onto my pillow.
I close my eyes and I dream.
I will hold onto the hope from this moment.
I will keep it with me.
For when I need it again.
I am No Longer Wide Awake.
