Conscious is different than awake
Awake your eyes are open
Awake your breathing is stable
Awake you're alive
I learned the difference
Conscious your eyes show emotion
Conscious your breathing hitches when you laugh
Conscious you're living
I learned the difference
Awake you sit still
Awake you don't speak
Awake you're with me in body
I learned the difference
Conscious you move constantly
Conscious your words hit with such power
Conscious your soul shines through your every action
I learned every difference between being awake and being conscious
