Death Is a Listening Manner
Are you glad to be alive?
Or glad rather to be surviving it?
Because being glad, you need to have drive
Because surviving, you have no motivating need
I would say we are sometimes both
Because both are reasons begging to live
Yet begging to live isn't even what we are close
Why are there not even reasons for death to believe?
You need to be dead to be heard
You cannot be more alive to listen
An untimely manner for death will word
That untimely manner of life left broken
I am alive and ask me questions you will not
I am alive and we have so much time...
I am dead and who would've thought
I am dead and moments no more will you find...
Are you not glad to be alive?
Or not glad rather to be surviving it?
Because not being glad, you have no drive
Because barely surviving... is a motivation need
