Am I Here
am I here
What is the gift of life worth
If sacrifice is forbidden
Am I here
Among the living
Who is the living
Am I here
I have searched
For too long
I have followed the crowd
With this knowledge so popular
My young mind was filled
With the Old ways style of life
Am I here
You have to be educated
Was all I hear home and abroad
Then again I followed the crowd
Am I here
A man moves when he decides
A coward follow with no self knowledge
Am I here
I so wonder which serves better
As life is a choice
So pardon my new choice
Am I here
As I keep to my self knowledge
With the question that challenged
My soul to my spirit
Am I here
Am I here
Just to follow
Am I here
To live
Am I here
Who am I
To know why am here
And if really
Am here
Am I here
What do I mean to myself
What do I represent to mankind
What is life for me
So the unknown became known
After this long search
After These torture of inner search
why am I here
Is no longer a lingua I don't know
Is better reality
that is
Am I here
if am here I got to
Love to live
Again I recon
love to live
Among the living
Only on the fact if
Am I here?
Note I dedicate this poem
To every soul willing to
Live again
