Challenge
what keeps you going?
i wrote a poem for the monthly poetry challenge for april (it was to write your longest poem). it's called "51. i write too many poems about death" which was 50 reasons why i want to live (in case you want to check it out on my profile for inspiration). i was a suicidal teen, so that's where it comes from for me, but even if you've never wanted to die, i want to know the reasons you want to live - anything from big things to small things

Reasons to keep living*
Babies laughing
puppies leaping
sun rising
rays shimmering
on waves rolling
breezes blowing
colorful leaves fluttering
rain falling
puddle jumping
cold-day cuddling
hand holding
arm-in-arm walking
silly dancing
dumb joke telling
belly laughing
cooking, baking
meal making
sports watching
card playing
porch sitting
bird watching
garden growing
snowman building
poem writing
story typing
oil painting
music tickling
my ears listening
your fingers strumming
lips smiling
hearts beating
spoon sleeping.
