A reason to exist

A reason to exist Bernard Etienne Me, you and the entire world have a reason to exist So take off your mask Get out of the casket And show the world your face Stop being an instrument that’s always in its case And know that the world is your place Life is like a running race You can’t win if you never participate Whenever you’re stress, depressed Because the world never let you rest Don’t put your life to the test Because you are flawless and priceless Don’t ever feel that you are valueless Because someone told you, you are worthless You have a reason to exist We are unique of all God’s creation There is a reason When you look in the mirror, it shows your reflection Just pay attention Adjust your vision Look at yourself in the mirror If you don’t see anything, then Look a little harder and deeper There is something in you that no one else can see Something that’s for your eyes only So don’t ever pick the knife To end your life Instead pick yourself up and out of strife There can’t ever be another you There is no one like you No one can smile the way you do No one can do things the way you do No one can be the great mother and father that you are No one can be the great friend, son, daughter, teacher, wife and husband that you are You have a reason to exist I have a reason to exist For 9 years, I use to live in a country filled with poverty A little more like misery I remember the day; I told my mom I was hungry She looked at me angrily Angry for the fact that the she had to tell me she had no money As an immigrant I was bullied for being different They treated me like a peasant The shattered my life into fragments They even made fun of my accent When I was present It was more like being absent My life was distant Looking back it still hurts It is something I won’t forget I was so, so, so upset Frankly, it is something I can’t reset No time for regrets It didn't break me In fact it made me I still have a long future ahead of me I never had a lot of options But now I live in a great nation I can live to my own expectation Education is the main destination For me it is an addiction Writing is my passion Reading is my motivation I am sick and tired of the cycle I hate seeing my people not finishing their roles I want to see more degrees from graduation I hope there are improvements in the upcoming generation I have a reason to exist and so do all of you Why shouldn't we? Your life is a treasure That is powerful beyond measure Don’t waste your time trapped in your past There’s a reason it didn't last Enjoy life everyday Because it starts today In a blink of an eye it fades away Don’t expect to be happy everyday Because life doesn't work that way But no matter what happened While you are living your life You have to keep moving forward Of course there will be a couple of cracks in your path That will make you stumble and fall But be strong and get back up Never give up As you lives your life Live it to the fullest Remember you have a reason to exist
