When I Woke Up

When I Woke Up

I remember when I woke up 

I burst the rainbow of flavor

And destroyed negative behaviors.

I decided to be no longer a slave

Because I needed to save myself 

From digging my heart into a grave.

I woke up and grabbed the tapestry

Because the only way I could live happily

Was by breaking the shackles of the phantom

And gradually building myself a new outlook.
