are you ready to crawl on bloody skinned knees to the sound of bullets and bombing in the seas
are you ready to fall from your safe perch up high to the trenches below where you'll be asked to comply
are you ready to take it face down like a pig squealing in agony while they ask you to sing
are you ready to hide everything you know every last emotion without letting it show
can you wake up just one more time can you get up pretend you feel fine best wishes and warmest regards
are you ready to color all the pages with grey let all the memories every last word go away
are you ready to scratch at the scars not yet healed at the feet of your enemy like grapes ripped from peels
are you ready to squander the things you don't have on things you don't need without getting sad
are you ready to cut off every semblance of being all of your senses including not knowing not seeing
can you wake up just one more time can you get up pretend you feel fine can you wake up just one more time can you get up pretend you feel fine best wishes and warmest regards
are you ready to spread all your dignity all your hope open like legs and you're naked on a strange unmade bed
are you prepared to surrender the flag that is your own and call whatever far away your last home
are you ready to have nothing ready to be nothing ready not to feel ready to be over and it to not know that the worst is real
can you wake up just one more time can you get up pretend it's all fine can you wake up one more time you'll have to pretend that it's all fine my best wishes and warmest regards
