Finding contentment is slightly difficult after surviving so much pain but being able to thrive (ie. happiness, good health and success) is a rare bird not seen too often in my parts. But i keeping looking for her.
JUST NOT ENOUGH
i am of no worth
here
on this earth -
every breath i take, i waste
for when i fell down
and
broke my crown
i lost my sense of grace
my innocence and beauty
felt
it their duty
to leave and never return
so, i sit and wait
although it's too late
to unlearn what i've learned
i have learned this
and
barely, just this:
this life must be lived and loved
each breath that one takes
must not be a waste
Surviving is just not enough.
