“Awaken”
By Ashley O’Hare
Wake up.
Wake up–
this isn’t you.
Stop being stubborn;
your dreams
can still come true.
Come on–
brush off the dirt
and rise again.
Forget the odds;
the old you
wouldn’t give them
a second thought.
Breathe deep,
Close your eyes,
And count to ten.
I’m not leaving
until you try
again.
