The Key to Life

The Key to Life

A Poem by SimplyOlivia

Away from the sun

So far down

My life no longer makes sense

I’ve gone from everything

To nothing

Back to regaining control

Then losing it again

Then gaining it

Then losing it

Then slowly gaining it back up

For a while it stayed like that

Then it took a nose dive

Then it came back again

Now I burn in the fires of my own personal hell

And yet

I’ve got friends by my side

I’m learning not to give a f**k

I’m learning

I’m going to rise to power in my own personal hell

I will rule

I will gain

And learn

Love

Lust

Live

Life

Love hard

Lust freely

Live everyday

That is the key to life and surviving.

Shaking the reader, pushing the button of a feeling and letting the words make their own pauses and tints of color. Nice job.
