*Nothing I say comes out right, I cant love without a fight. No one ever knows my name, When I pray for sun it rains. Im so sick of wasting time, When nothings moving in my mind. Inspirations cant be found, I get up and I fall back down, But* I'm alive *Every lover breaks my heart, And I know it from the start. Still I end up being a mess, Everytime I second guess. All my friends just run away, When Im having a bad day. Id rather stay in bed But I know theres a reason*   Im alive

I'm Alive
You make countless decisions, To take or to keep what is dear, why do you choose to keep? The happy song of the birds, or the shining rays on your skin, a friend to share a laugh with, or that warm feeling within, Why do you keep moving? The scars of the knife too much? Scar[r]ed the marks will be permanent, Do you keep moving with the hope, Hope of why, hope it gets better. Perhaps adrenaline rushes from running, or the satisfaction of getting good, what the future of tomorrow brings, if it's good or if it's hollow. Move with grace and meaning, Sing loud and with emotion, Act out what pain is there, Or set the scene for what you wish, You wish you could be. Go into the realm of the pages, Talk to someone, make your maid-of-honour, Give yourself to God, let the bless be with, Just drive, escape the weight on your skin, Reconnect with family, Make yourself better, Your aspiration, to be or not to be, After all, that is what matters. Or.. don't. Nobody will stop you. Be the one at risk, or save them, and succeed, fail to, live knowing you tried. Write and fill your fantasy, Make the world your own, Make it to what you wish it could be, all joy, with no tears, no sorrow. "It gets better." Perhaps it does, but for now, I will walk, guided by crystalline tears, That's my why.

That's My Why
Food and sleep to stay alive. Medications to stay stable. Friends to stay happy. Love to start living. What is living? Is it the opposite of dead? No, that’s survival. Is it eating, and sleeping? No, that’s being alive. Living is different. Living is choosing to do those other things for an ultimate concern. Living is doing more than those things to experience your life to the fullest capacity possible.
