Alive

What inspires me? 

 

The question is answered so easliy. 

 

Its the mother who gets out of bed 

Who lifts her head

 

Its the boy with scars on his arm 

Who finally asks for help

 

Its the girl who goes to school 

Knowing she will be alone

 

The one who thinks there is no more left to give

But keeps on living

 

It is easy to give up 

To let defeat overcome you 

like the smell of burn popcorn 

 

It is easy to let fear, sadness, shame 

Creep in like cat ready to pounce

 

It is hard to live

To wake up

To be

 

That is why it inspires me 

Living 

Breating 

Alive
