  "Awake"

All the lights are off
Everyones asleep
there's only me, that's up
only me, who can't sleep

There's not a sound
Stillness complete
In an oil painting, I am bound

Perfection beholds
as night unfolds
You all miss such beauty
that remains untold

In the morning, you wake
to lifes frenetic gait
Please take a step back
to a simpler fate

   "Awake"
