Alive
My heart is beating fast,
My adrenaline is surging.
I feel my pulse in my fingertips.
I am alive.
My senses are aware,
My brain is wide awake.
My eyes see the world's vibrant colors,
I am alive.
Nature's sounds are music to me.
The dripping of rain, the howl of wind,
The exotic sounds of animals,
I am alive.
My eyes see a variety of colors,
Blues, greens, purples, reds,
Each color has a different meaning,
I am alive.
My fingers feel many different textures,
Rough, soft, silky,
Each feeling is extraordinarily different.
I am alive.
I smell delicious scents.
Sweet roses, earthy rain.
Each scent brings my nose to life.
I am alive.
I feel Jesus in my heart
Protecting me, saving me from harm.
Because of his sacrifice,
I am alive.
I feel every light breeze,
I hear every whisper.
I feel like electricity.
I am alive.
My mind is buzzing,
My body is numb.
I feel every breath,
I am alive.
I can feel my families' love,
My friend's care.
Everyone's support,
I am alive.
My own feelings
Boil up inside me.
They feel like fire and ice,
I am alive.
My blood feels like lead,
Heavy and solid.
But yet I feel as light as a feather,
I am alive.
All of these feelings
Come to me when I'm with him.
I am filled with adrenaline,
I am alive.
