Not Living Only Existing

Not Living Only Existing

A Poem by jasmine levert

Not Living Only Existing

 

I see people living their lives and I want to have a life of my own.

I want to go places, see things, find somewhere that I truly belong.

I am breathing, eating, walking, etc.

But I’m not in any way living…I’m just existing.

 

I feel as if I’m already dead but I’m not in a box.

I don’t have that many friends and I live in a four wall box.

It’s driving me crazy because I want to have a life so bad.

Knowing that I don’t have a life of my own really makes me sad.

 

I pray every day to God to let me have a life.

To get married, have a beautiful house, become a writer…but that is my dream life.

I have a name, birth date, social security, etc.

But the sad thing is that I’m not living…only existing
