Alive
Pushed. Awakened to another day.
Shock. Pain in places you can't miss.
Stubborn. Refuse to kneel before time.
Accepting. Head down working through.
Bored. Losing sight of passion.
Hungry. For some purpose.
Needing. Intimate connections.
Peaceful. Lacking all want.
Dreaming. A future that isn't.
Remembering. A past that wasn't.
Lamenting. Things that aren't.
Living. Here and now.
You. Questions on your face.
Me. Seeking answers always.
All. Part of everything.
Alive...
