as I walk upon this earth
being just a part of all else
I hold my hands to the sky
as an individual ~
wanting my moment
under the sun ~ as if
it had some relevance
some purpose
filled with significance
for all those who notice
‘cause I lived ~
‘cause I cared ~
to even matter
not only to myself
but to others
and it is because of that
my being ~
was worth every moment
I drew a breath
upon this earth
and my struggle to live on
to be ~
really ~ really
does have importance
to the very end
regardless ~ the eventuality
for I gave it my all ~ to live
~ ~
live on ~
I say loud and clear
it will be worth the effort
stand tall ~
I’ll lift my hands to the sky
take each breath
one at a time
smile every time
each new day does arrive
my struggle ~
its reality ~
will always be my victory
peace out
