A Pledge To Life

I know you think you will die No, you won’t die If things don’t get better You will not die If love fails you You will not die If your landlord kicks you You still will not die And the rain starts beating you You still will not die If your friends all leave You still will not die And you have to beg for food You won’t die And your wounds stop healing You still will not die And the sickness is unto death You still won’t die You will be doing nothing nothing that makes it worse You will be nothing, no one And no one can’t die The darkest moment is the moment of light You will learn the meaning of your suffering It will turn to suffering with meaning like surgical pain It is suffering with purpose And you will not die You will find purpose in the face of death And you won’t die When hope is the only thing that remains You will not die You will find a way of doing something And you won’t die You will be somebody You will become who you should be You will treat your future self with love and kindness You will extend this to others beyond yourself And you will love the world again And when death comes You still won’t die You became love And the universe will continue expressing itself in your name
