Memory Lane

The glimpses of time past flash through my eyes,
As I reminisce on the greatness of yesterday,
It almost feels like it were today,
The sizzling aroma of a once great personality,
Grasping onto me like a dazzling prince,
I do wish I could go back to that day,
When things were all red and rosy,
And I didn't have to question my very existence,
But I can't go back,
Reality stares me in the eyes and screams loudly,
'Hey you, wake up from your slumber!
It's time to face life; to face me,'
I have to wake up, I have to face this scary reality,
And fight so hard to make a change,
Posterity depends on my success,
I cannot and will not fail,
It's time to rise up; to wake up from my slumber and fight,
I must fight until I win!
