Eyes Open


When did it become ok to give up?
When did mediocre suddenly become enough?
I don't remember telling you 
You could have my power,
When Grace was only saying 
I should wait for my hour?
When did it become alright for you
To set the standard I should bow to?
When did I give you the keys to my life?
When did I say,
Go ahead, it's alright?
At what point did I let free will go?
And since when did you become the leader I should follow?
When did I offer you my soul to whittle
And let you make me into someone so desperate,
So little?
I don't know when I became this person
But I'm wide awake now
And it's time for a reversal.
I may have forgotten who I was before
And lost side of what I was put here for,
But all that's over. 
God has broken the spell,
And I refuse to endure 
Another second of your hell.
