Am taking it easy
In the ride of my life
I have realized am very minute
In the grand scale of things
The last vestiges of my will
Keep me living day by day
In spite of the glaring fact
That am not immortal
After all, my time shall come to pass
For 20 years
I have trudged on and on
My soul is weary
My heart is broken
My body is bruised
My faith is gone
My abilities are dimmed
My perspective is skewed
My mind is in turmoil
Yet day by day
I still breathe in and out
The reason for living
Eludes me sometimes
Looking around me
I see those who peg their hopes on me
I see those who in me have great expectations
I see those to whom I bring joy
I see those to whom I bring pride
And I decide to go on living
Just for them
That they too may find a reason to live
Stumbling upon this on the eve of your 21st makes me slightly sad. Yet I sense you have things under control, everything will turn out just fine.
