Lucid Awakening

The delusion that required a long wait 

Only to fade away
As quiet as it started

Of tongues that's been bit to bled


Patience never got its prize

It just waited amidst the onslaught of pride

Its action is its justification


And no matter how mild or safe the approach

It will always be received as an encroach


Meant to manipulate a result


For a path the protagonist is trying to avoid

As truth and lucid awakening

It is here for the taking


We've grown suspicious brittle-spirit trauma

Actors thriving in face-contorting drama

As all truth

Elucidated but inconvenient

It is a choice never chosen
