When You Are Alive Poem by Justin Fitzpatrick

When you are alive
You never seem to see
Those who make up you
Death’s inconsistency

When you are alive
You create dreams
Among many other things
And the despair in-between

When you are alive
You hold on to hope
Keep you warm like a sleeve
Dry your tears so you may cope

When you are alive
You learn kindness for friends
To help in your adventure
To stay by you till the end

When you are alive
One thing you will need
It is love to envelop you
To flourish you from just a seed
