To live

Have you ever thought how it is to slowly die?

Between the thorns of the human life

You try and try to get away

But only blood and flesh is torn this way.

You look around and see no one,

It’s just you and the lonely sun.

You cry for help with a desperate sound

But all you can hear is the deadly earth bound.

You raise your face and watch the sky,

When the playful birds are flying high.

And you wish you could do the same

But the thorns are getting in your way.

You put your gaze back to its place

Why does it matter when everything is so wretched?

All your dreams and hopes and thoughts

Have vanished after just one drop

Because life itself is just one stop

Where you can live, grow, love and sob.

You close your eyes and fade away

With a broken smile and a tear on her way,

And you think that your life it’s just a dream

Carried by a butterfly at his whim.

But all you can do now it’s to convey

That your dreams and hopes must be carried away

By another human born today

Between the thorns of the human way.
