I refuse to fade away
I want to exist
I want to live
I want to pursue happiness
Search for the keys to be free of these thoughts
When the shadow tells me to
Jump and spread my arms into a welcoming embrace
Make contact with the desolate unyielding cement
Swallow my nonexistent pride and choke on my sorrow
Stuff all my fears and hurt into a pliable throat
Snatch salvation into my trembling hands
Danger flashing and glinting as I bury caution deep within the pit of my stomach
Coarse cold and deadly
Regret smothered into pale ashes
I surrender to each toiling and crashing wave pounding against me
Yet I will not cease to exist
I am still fighting
I want to be free
