Life
Born 2009, F, from Delhi, IndiaOh Life!
I am so tired of you
Every morning, I wake up and I wonder
If I really need to get up
What if I stayed where I was
And lay there till death?
Every day is a challenge
And you tell me to face it bravely
But what if I no longer want to?
What if I no longer can?
Every day I feel the chains dragging me down
Down towards the realm of your brother
And though I resisted them at first
I now find walking towards him easier
And I know you give me light
And the energy to shine
But what if I love the darkness now?
What if I have lost the will to glow?
What if I have been reduced to a flicker?
A flicker who is ready to go out?
But you won't let me go, will you?
Even now I feel your warm hands creeping around me
I still hear your soft whispers of hope
Escaping through the cracks of the shield I put up
And even as I lie down, refusing to get up
I can't pretend not to see your white hand stretching towards me
I can't pretend not to see the beauty that you hold within you
And the joy that you give me
No, I can't ignore the hope that you still lovingly feed me
Even when I am your useless, ungrateful child
And I know Life, that you love me
This is why you try so hard
For me, when I don’t care to try at all
And I hope as I take your hand
And finally, get up
I will learn to love you
Just as much
As I hated you.
