awakening is a pain

to open your eyes
in the morning
is a blessing and a curse

an iron burned upon my chest
a pile of coals brought beneath me
there's a benson burner which
irks me into movement, a distinct push
into a direction that boils my heart

amble into relaxation, a sense of flow
imbues within others a very significant glow
to achieve the same is to mimic, to shame
but how else are we to become our own name?

awakening is a pain
but the suffering is well worth it
awakening is a pain
let life rescind its purchase
