Surviving or living

Surviving comes with ease
Even dying is also serene 
Living, what a real scrutiny 
Living when your knees are on the ground 
Or when your head owns a crown
Or when you are seeing the same dawn
Living when your day unfolds a distinct tale, perhaps you may hate 
When friends are few and everything seems blue
Living when your desires and your destiny lacks alignment 
Or when everyone wants to put u in confinement 
Living is the only testimony of life 
And Henceforth pardon me my friend 
But you failed if you just survived 
And not lived...
