Waking up

I follow the tide,
I wake up with dreams and aspirations,
I wake up with a sudden glee
I wake up only to be discovered
my downfall is somebody else's glee
They wait for me to be
tripped, trimmed and butchered
As I get more and more eroded
I could feel something endearing
in the form of goodness of people
scattered here, there and
simply coming out of nowhere
It changes my whole perspective
and by the time my eyes droop
I have gained enough confidence
to strengthen myself so that
I wake up with dreams and aspirations
yet again but with a difference,
this time the flame is steady,
mind is set,
goal is clear,
I see nothing but my destination,
my thrashers are simply sidelined
and focused out of background
With fists so clenched
I say with confidence
Come to thrash me
but only if you dare
Don't judge me by my past
Now I am unaffected
by whatever you say
because now I am clear
of what I am,
my weaknesses and strengths
and now is the time
of my real waking up!!!
