Is it enough to be alive?

Upon awakening my garments taking in.


Hope, and despair fill this air.


"Curious." I choose that word.


I note today's news.


Another rejection, sound the blues.


It hits me like a bat.


So I take off my hat.


Cover my eyes and there I sat.


A heart with ties down the middle.


Fingers dig deep into the crease, refusing to release.


Oh, it stings.


Then arms out stretched from the right.


Setting this poem alight.


For I had found a reason to fight again.


Right, so the hat came off from over my eyes.


I thought about all of your lives.


The very reason to strive.


Is it not enough to be alive?


The End.
