are you alive?
they say,
and assume it's rhetorical.
I assume otherwise- alive is not simply
keeping your heart beating
and the ability of the body to keep itself
on the ground.
It's keeping yourself happy when
no one's around,
and breathing because you want to.
Alive is
Not just surviving, but thriving.
