I think that I’m alive today.
Gazing at the strange reflection
that stares back at me
in the morning,
as I get ready.
Wonder if I’m really so far off base?
Some things make more sense
than others do these days.
I’ve been incomplete,
and abandoned in so many ways.
Somehow, I’ve made a little space.
I think I’m alive today.
Maybe I can tell the memories
that they can go away.
So far,
I’ve survived all their games.
I’m not sure if winning
and staying alive are the same.
I’ll take what I can get.
I’ll do everything I can.
Take it as it comes.
I hope you understand,
that I’m no hero;
I’m just a simple man,
trying to make my way.
Feeling alive today.
