Live for Today


Yes, that is I

Wave to say hi

My hair a white essence surrounding my face

My eyes, blue, starring into space

My arms dotted with freckles

My heart, pounding

I feel a constant sense of drowning

I always try to prevail

Inside, I am frail

My family, broken

I live to put the pieces back together

I hope to find happiness forever

I will never give up
