Reasons For Staying Alive
Reasons I stay alive? Hmm.
I stay a live because as much as I hate my life, I love seeing others thrive.
Seeing the dew on the grass in the mornings
Hearing the birds chirp in the morning, as if they're calling my name outside.
Reminds me that I actually am living a unique life.
I stay alive because I want to leave behind a legacy.
My very own foot print in the snow of society.
I want to explore every talent I could ever have and perfect them.
I stay alive because without me she'd die.
I know she doesn't say it or show, I just know it!
I know she loves me back, I know that if I left her here alone, it would be the fatal last crack in the walls in her chest.
Causing a structural collapse on her heart, and I wouldn't be there to dig it out of the rubble.
So, finally, you ask why I stay alive?
I stay alive because, even though I'm in the darkest point of my life,
There's always a way to reach the light.
It's like walking into a room you've never been in and finding the light switch.
The light is there. It's somewhere in there I promise.
Just find it.
I know I will.
Because my last reason of staying alive, is to be able to experience it get better.
It'll be my greatest accomplishment.
