I Am Alive

Every morning, I wonder: Why do I always wake up? What good did I do yesterday, To be alive today? Every time I eat, I wonder: Why am I given food all the time? What good did I do in my life, To deserve such grace? Everytime look at my family and friends, I wonder: Why do I have such good people beside me? What good did I do, For them to be by my side? Everyday, I wonder: Why am I living? Despite the things I did that I shouldn’t have, and The things I didn’t that I should have, Despite the thoughts I had, and The thoughts I had not Despite the judgments I made, and The judgments I made not Despite the things I took, and The things I did not take Despite the things I gave, and The things I gave not What good did I do, To be granted a life On earth? Surely, there must be A reason for me To be alive in this world I could have died in my sleep I could have died of hunger I could have died of pain But I did not In this moment, I am alive I am breathing I can still do The things that I have to. I can still laugh, I can still love, I can still be grateful, I can still forgive and apologise. I have to do good things in this life Because even though I deserve nothing, I am still alive.
