REASON TO LIVE


REASONS TO LIVE See,I'm not going through pain or stress I'm not depressed or overtaken by some emotions,heart broken or lost in thoughts of where to go and what to do,how and why I'm not suffocating in every breath i take because of something that happened to me or someone i loved I'm not looking for someone to confide in and a shoulder to lean on,i haven't got problems I haven't been a victim of being a victimiser which later left himself more hurt than the initial victim I haven't got a sickness that has put me on the verge of death while knowing that when i die,many will die with me,just in different ways I never had a love who was in love with me but forced to leave me or see me leave because of family vendettas or controversies No!! It is perplexing to me,to think of how so many people go through so much yet so few stories can be told and that too with minimal detail if any at all Perhaps you'd like to hear mine,i was born and i will die Seven words but between the lines you may already sniff a multitude of mysteries As soon as you grasp the concept of life it becomes impossible to speak about your experiences  but those of others People are there to tell their stories but it can only benefit you so much if you dont take lesson from them They are broken without having chosen to be and therefore dieing everyday,which is the exact opposite of life My reason for living....is to be...alive{YOUNG LION}
