Perception

Wake up and go, do what you do,
laugh like a fool, while playing cool.
Go through your day, no time to play,
as feelings sway, in disarray.
Hold a brave face, keep it in place,
another chase, an unknown race.
Good afternoon never goes soon,
horrible swoon, howl at the moon.
Another night, turn off the light,
thoughts hold too tight, sleep puts a fight.

Wake up and go, write your own show,
make your life glow, change up the flow.
Go through your day, make time to play,
watch feelings sway, enjoy sun rays.
Smile on your face, that stays in place,
no need to chase a winning race.
Good afternoon, time flies too soon,
internal swoon, hello full moon.
A better night, feeling so light,
hold pillow tight, sleep feels so right.
