I Am Legend

A man existing, in world of isolation
Alone, or so he thought that was the case
His family lost as he remained the living
But, was he hope to save the human race?
Existing, wandering the streets of desolation
Survival during day, a mere concern
When darkness fell, a hell begot persona
Made him hide in fear, as city streets did burn
Alone and left to fight the demons, waiting
A man with will to just go on; survive
To maybe one day find another human being
To again be glad that he remained alive

Sometimes we need to just accept things and know that everything that happens has a purpose. This was a good look at soul searching. God Bless. Vince
