THERE’S NOT A PERSON ALIVE
By David N. Donihue

There’s not a person alive 
proud of every word
Not a person alive
With a past pitch perfect
A stainless soul lying undisturbed

Not a person alive
Who has what they need
As needs are in the mind
With imagination, a rabbit hole unending

And there’s not a person alive
Satisfied with their shell
And there’s not a person alive
Who has not uttered life is hell

And there’s not a person alive
When free from shame or worry
That would bother inflicting misery
Takes the former, for pain to keep on feeding

And there’s not a person alive
Without prejudice
No matter who you are,
Someone's demeanor 
could trigger your 

And there’s not a person alive
Who’s never felt debt, 
never felt useless, 
never felt like a prick

And there’s not a person alive 
Who has not failed many
Yet to experience true life,
Is to love endlessly

Praise the heavens for the day and night
Until gratefulness becomes greatness

And you’re giving the globe 
your absolute everything

And there’s not a person alive
that doesn’t deserve love
Doesn’t deserve redemption
the chance to rise above

And there’s not a person alive
Who is not addicted to something
Whether positive or negative
Our routines keep moving

And there’s not a person alive
Who should have never lived
Yet if they’d chosen forgiveness
Then maybe the spiral of sickness
Would no longer exist

And there’s not a person alive
Like you in the morning
Whimsical smile though weary lids opening

And there’s not a person alive 
Like you when you’re you
Pointless insecurities thrown aside
So the truth may shine through

And there’s a person alive
Like you
There’s not a person alive
Like you
