Morning - well, its morning here :)

Another gem I see before me...

Silently she sleeps, with eyes wide open,
her mind is undone from years of provoking.
^
The opposing sleep with eyes open creating a restless sleep where the night is long and non-rejuvenating. A great start..

When daylight breaks, her soul does too,
for when you're lost, there's no one in you.
^
"no one in you" The thought of being lost is deep enough, but here the anti is elevated with "there's no one in you" I read this to be a person missing an essential part of themselves, maybe a soul?

Like fallen angels she haunts the earth,
a dead-living thing since after birth.
^
Dark indeed. Sounds like the land of Vampires. More than this though - without a soul, would not a person feel like they were "dead living"? At first I read after birth to mean placenta! lol

But will they see her sleeping eyes!
No, they want to believe her happy lies.
^
Okay, a mask worn to hide the fear beneath - away from a cruel world who may not accept.

She sleeps all day and wakes at night,
seeking some form of maufactured delight.
^
Superficial pats on the back. Spelling of "manufactured"
Only, she isn't there, she's a star,
performing an act, trying to hide her scars.
^
Scars equate to hurt, physical or emotional. The emotional ones are worse for they cannot be seen.

She bleeds oxygen when she's murdered with words,
their judgement forms a noose-like cord.
Slowly she suffocates,
as she silently sleeps, protecting herself from further heart ache.
^
Emotional hurt - words can cut deeper than any blade and the pain last forever.

Dear angel wake up,
drink of this life-giving cup.

Stop living their lies!
^
Turning this pain around, by realizing that by living life the way you choose and not the way others choose is the first step. The moment a person starts to do this they walk a different path and begin to live their life of truth where acceptance starts within, not without!

Excellent and inspiring. I hope others see this.

Take care,

Michael
