Dormant by Grant Harbison

Rise and shine

Come out of your shell

Don’t be disheartened

It’s just a momentary spell

Get up

It’s a brand new day

I know you’re jaded

But it could go your way

Get out

Don’t be disconcerted

I know it can’t be easy when you’ve become introverted

Stand tall

Regain you former self

Shine like a star and wipe the dust from your shelf

Have faith

I know it’s hard to do

But no one is any better than you

Persist

Never ever break

Even if you feel that you’ve had more than you can take

Hold your head up

Be proud

Don’t try to hide or be afraid of the crowd

Smile

Don’t feel degraded

For chances are you could be inundated
