Live On Poem by Michael Stevens

a rainbow disappating in the summer heat
realizing that you were unprepared for that most important thing ever
or winning the lottery and getting robbed the next day
my inspiration is also doomed here

when simple things such as living become burdensome
and the mind is tormented with such horrible things
that leave you weak and sobbing and wish
for someone to just come hold you in the night

to reassure you that everything in fact will be ok and
yet with the dawn of tomorrow comes new hope that
everything will eventually turn itself outright as it should be
so you just have to smile and think

your luck just to be alive in such a harsh world
and that everyday you live more, you have a chance to smile again
to hold that one that gave you comfort at night
when you were stricken with grief and despair

and to see the fresh rainbow after a summer rain
to smell the grass in the morning dew
hear the birds as they sing their daily tunes
we have to keep moving on

it is our path, our purpose, our desire
no matter what shall become of us here,
we have to see tomorrow or else youd never know
what couldve been
