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
Wake up, eat, sleep, repeat.
It was the world I lived in
I made my bed, and thought
I had to lay on it
No exact reason to continue
Still young to know what life is
But if you didn't give up
Why should I?
No motivation
All but words
Except knowing the pain, I will leave
As soon as my body hits the floor
I look out the window
To see new life forming
From the dirt to sky
This is the world I live in
Why shouldn't I try?
Tomorrow's pain is not today's
Today's Blessings are not tomorrow's
If it's worth a try
I will continue living
I wanted to die
But I guess I'll give it a try
If it's not for me, it's for you
And it's not for you but for me
