I Am Alive
Yes, I am alive
With pain, agony and heartache
To breathe I strive
Anguish is my life’s make
Abandoned by love
Deserted by friends
Riding the seas turbulent and rough
Slipping down from exuberant ascends
Hopes skulking behind
The screen of despair
Tears shying from the world unkind
My faltering vision my thoughts impair
Is nothing but pain?
The outcome of life
Is soul in chain?
Of throes, torments and strife
My demonised nights call out!
Flickering morning stars speak!
Is this where the life leads you about
From all the attainments and glory’s peak?
