I Want To Live Poem by Cain XXX

I Want To Live

Rating: 5.0


Watching a million different faces
holding the same expression of
indifference with
vacant, emotionless
eyes left staring blankly
at god knows what and
I start to wonder if
my society is still human.
or perhaps we are
empty corpses left cruelly to
KEEP STANDING.
KEEP BREATHING.

on the TV screen I see
people from some far flung place at the end of the world
with faces twisted with
Emotions:
Despair, Anguish, Pain, Sorrow, Misery
FIGHTING to
KEEP STANDING
KEEP BREATHING.
and feel for them
not pity
but envy.

they have what I do not.
what my society does not.
what we will never have.

a reason to FIGHT to
KEEP STANDING
KEEP BREATHING
KEEP LIVING.

I want to LIVE
For god's sake
Give me a REASON to
continue to
FIGHT TO LIVE.

wooow, fascinating, powerful piece of writting sometimes we loose our way and don't have the sparkle of that reason, or the strength that keeps us going forward, all we have to do is get back to the start and remember what really matters thank you very much for sharing, keep up the good work
