Woke up feeling new
Got last night out of my system
Last night a thing of the past
Thankful for the present
Anticipating the future
Yawn and stretch
A gesture of freedom
Grateful for the space to do so
Reaching out for better
To avoid the worst
Lurking in the shadows
Telling my reflection
That I'm somebody
I'm feeling quite grown
Adult-like
Mature beyond my years
Expecting grays
From wisdom not stress
Class is in session
Everyday I open my eyes
Taught by experience
Tested by trials
Graded by God
I give thanks
No matter the score
As I continue to wake up
To attend the school of hard knocks
Never been absent
I'm determined to graduate
With a degree of success
But I can't achieve that
Staying in bed
Reminiscing in regret
Could've would've should've
Doesn't matter now
It's a new dawn
A new opportunity
To tell the world good morning
As I take it on
Yes I am glowing
