Ready to live

We cannot put off living until we are ready. Jose Ortega y Gasset

For the first time, this blurring smoke is clarified

and words are written on paper, my soul is etched

the truth deducted from the lies, it can’t be stretched

no more, I’m ready to live I say, it’s classified

 

if I have to battle, so be it, for all the suffering

that I had to go through, not once but twice

I broke and healed against the highest price

there was no mercy, not even in recovering

 

it was never enough, not even till the bitter end

no trace of gratitude, not a grain of simple respect

for the years of loyalty I gave, I can’t forgive

 

nor forget, you reap what you sow, my friend

you’ll never be, this is the truth, I resurrect

from the death, I’m prepared and ready to live.
