Financially indebted
Emotionally desolate
Spiritually barren
Physically unfit
But I’m surviving
As new days bear sun raise
I’m still here
Breathing
Hanging
Holding
Fighting
Moving
Praying
To do more than survive
To hunt the evil of inadequacy
To Attack it with great enthusiasm
With it lingering
Can I claim to have ever lived?
Surviving is not enough
If you ever had to live
And be alive
