Alive

Every day to come had gone
I so felt like natures pawn
What was my life I would wonder,
Never rain just always thunder

I was told life lives this way,
Death was reserved for another day
Do it right or pay a bribe
All that matters is to survive,

I agreed to have my say
My dreams would just not let me stay
Years of life yet days to remember
To my future, I had to tender

How?, I would think now and then,
There was no way out, just when
I knew my fate had taken its turn
Found my diamonds in a rotten urn

It was the spirit within ,
Tolerating life was a sin
Survival was a thing of past;
My big dreams have to thrive
I now live in this blissful waltz
More than ever feeling alive…
