She Awoke

When she woke up from her coma

everything had changed

but it was not a coma, not really

not in the typical scene

She was raised in a different reality

one where she was told to please

to muffle her personal desires

One day something clicked

she woke up from the coma

maybe it was because of her life long depression

maybe it was because everyone she knew had woken up first

maybe just got fed up with the endless cycle

Either way, when it clicked 

She started to make the change

She was awake for the first time

out of a depressive cycle of people pleasing

into a place where she pleased herself and said her thoughts

If the people loved her they would understand

Many people get lock-up and a self-made coma.

The above lines are true for the many of us. We awake one day and learn. We did nothing useful and must find a better path and place. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
