A Stagnate Mantra?

That hot breath heaves from your belly
Burning away the freshness of the morning.
You resent the dew in all its new innocence,
The birds chirp to mock you and drag you to another day.
The light melts your teary, slept eyes into consciousness
And you challenge yourself to make it one more round.

Live.
Forget the pathetic pity you’ll never receive.
And make yourself something.
Find some to believe, something to live for
Before no one cares if you do live anymore.

The mirror stares back uglier than before
And you snarl to make a point.
You are a hero in the night
But a villain while waking alone.
Today is the day that everything changes.
Today is the day that you remember to change.
