I open up my crusty eyes, But I don't want to get out of bed. There's a fog inside my brain, And doomsaying voices in my head.
Why have I reached this place? Where did I come from? I'm in no mans land, Stranger to me, My future in his hand.
When ambition still lived in me, I thought I could change the world. Reality sank in and dreams were disposed, So I stay here under blankets, curled.
I've rolled with all the punches, Been willing to take a hit. Aims have changed, I know what I want, And now how to get it.
Priorities no longer revolve around me, I am still me but so much more. I realise the reason why I am here, What I keep on fighting for.
A picture of love on my bedside table; Those that rely on me; To be the best I can be; I won't let them down while I'm still able.
I get up and keep holding my head high; Because I know till the day I die; I will keep finding ways; For their better days.
