Waking up, or staying up all night. Whatever.

You wake up in the morning
feeling like a shave
and a bath
will make you human again
shivering with your nose running
you
look in the mirror
with pain rushing through
every
nerve
you have
what you see?
a faded image of your
past
self
but i have been there
too many times
i must say
so
listen to me
you might be lost
you might be broken
you might be in pieces
but you are
alive
and bit by bit you are
going
to
live
some pieces of that life might be good
some might be bad
some might be painful
some might be pleasant
but
without hate you cant feel love  
without sadness you cant feel happiness
without darkness  you can see light
and I am telling you light can be found
even
in your darkest moments
