Know You Are Alive
Posted: 23 Apr 2016, 03:59
Trembling with awe and a fear uncouth
Of time uncovering the bitter, vile truth
Shattering clichés and steamrolling dreams
Life not as rosy as it deliberately seems
Clouds of hatred and disgust descend
On atrocious planes of nonexistent amends
Negativity bubbles up, eager to crush the world
But who will fight it and leave victory unfurled?
Plying the daily quota of assurances
In fiery displays of angry dances
That force, pushing us to live
But what does it take to effortlessly give?
Doubts, doubts and a million others
In our minds and that of our brothers
Rue their existence with all you have
But without them, how do you know you're alive?
Of time uncovering the bitter, vile truth
