survive

Long story short, I survived

I leave the hospital room

I still pray for the nurse who held me one last time and says "don't give up"

I pretended to be tired so I wouldn't have to fill out another paper

But I know, my life has just began

The bruises are gone and the tears have subsided

These pajamas now has a meaning

I know what it means to be on the edge of life

And I choose to enjoy every roads drive 

They wanted me dead or alive 

The greatest thing I did last year was survive

And I did my job right.

Sometimes something within us has to die for it to regrow and birth a new perspective within us.

What a nice thing to say, Beren. Thank you. You are more than welcome. But it's true, to survive and live and create, is truly worth celebrating. You create wonderful poetry, Beren. I hope you never stop.

It sounds as though you endured a fierce ordeal. It also sounds as though it hasn't destroyed you. Not everyone can say that.

[Beren]

After all, I'm alive. There's falling down in life, but most of the time we get back up. It is very valuable that you comment on the poem I shared an important piece of myself. Thank you so much sir! Have a great week!

And I'm glad you did. It's nice seeing your poetry written here. I've always thought of people who've gone through hospitalization as heroes for what they've been through.
