While You Decide

Wake me up!
I have dreamed to long...
Or is this waking?

Trapped in other people's visions
and nightmares has left me
empty...
So I choose to be something else.

Skipping forward into now.
I'm less likely to snap and go mad.
Shaking loose the weight
of your troubles leaves me free.

You mistake this for uncaring
for unfeeling or emptiness.
But, wrong you are.
All I have done is let you go...
I have only control over myself.
You will do and be
as you see fit...

As always, I am there for you.
But having let go of the worry.
My hopes and prayers go with you,
now and forever.
But no longer will I wait...
No longer will I put myself
on hold while you decide.
No longer will I share the nightmares
you hold so dear...

I have my own dreams.
(and my own nightmares)
And I must follow them...
I have awakened!
And can only hope that you will
do likewise...
