Answer
How do I live?
How do I survive?
Questions I ask every day.
Yet I have no clear answer.
How do I live?
Carefully, barely;
Cautiously, hardly.
How do I survive?
Barely, carefully;
Cautiously, hardly.
Fears feeds my depression,
Tears feeds my sorrow,
Anger feeds my hatred,
Heart ache feeds my pain.
I barely survive.
The pain engulfs me,
The sorrow drowns me,
The hatred encircles me,
The depression kills me.
How do I live?
One day at a time.
How do I survive?
Moment by moment.
This is my answer.

How do I survive?
Moment by moment.
This is my answer.
