Alive

Sometimes it can be hard to be alive
We go through so much
We have to go through so many trials
We all doubt
We all have to deal with pain
Sickness
Doubt
Depressions
And just feeling lost in general
We kill ourselves over petty things 
We allow ourselves to go through so much pain
We all wonder sometimes why we are even here
Why were we born
Only to have to deal with so much confusion
So much pain
Having to deal with so much
That it seems like we can hardly bear
But being alive is also a wonderful and beautiful thing
We all have that living spark inside of us
That part of us that wants to survive
That wants to persist
That wants to get stronger
We all have this living spark inside of us
With every breath we take
We take in life
With every moment
We live
We grow
We change
It might seem hard sometimes
But there is also happiness
Joy
The simple beauty of nice warm day
A hug
The beauty of our mother that is all around us
Being able to learn and to live each new day
Connecting with that inner spirit
Feeling that joy
Being able to share that joy with others
Feeling love
Being able to share that love
Coming together with others
Being able to laugh 
Dance
Even cry when the time calls for it
But just being alive
Whatever the emotions
Whatever we are going through
Is still beautiful
Even with all of the pain and trials
We are all alive
Taking in breath
Carrying that living flame
That lives inside of us
