Love Life

life

 I remember wanting to kill myself

I recall wanting to die

Knocking at death's door

Dying to get inside

Begging death to just let me in

Grant me some access

I just couldn't find a reason to live

Death denied me access

Wouldn't even let me get my foot past the threshold

Death looked through the peephole

And told me that it wasn't my time

Come back later

So I'm looking I'm searching

Through the rolodex in my mind

For reasons to live

To coexist on this planet

With a bunch of ignorant ***s

Who make it hard for everyone else

Then I realized that I'm being hard on myself

Maybe I'm the ignorant one

Taking life for granted

Giving up so easy

Running towards death

And it doesn't even want me

But here comes life

Waiting for me with open arms

Ready to cradle me

But I'm always running away

Afraid life is going to hurt me

So ignorance is bliss

I don't give life a chance

And I'm the ignorant ***

Who's making it hard for everyone else

To like me to love me

To get close to me

All living things

All walks of life

Everything that breathes

Is dangerous to me

Waiting on death to set me free

While life is waiting to set me free

So my reason to live found me

I'm running towards my freedom

I'm beginning to love life
