The Point to Life

The Point to Life

A Poem by I Am Svetlana

What has brought on this life?

What made society think they could control us?

Only when we gave in

Because we were done fighting.

We dropped our bags and decided we were finished.

Time to move on.

 

(chorus)

The point to life is to live free.

You begin to live once you face reality.

This is the life I got, what I was given.

The life I live.

 

I walked past your house

Noticed the windows were dark, lights were off.

Seemed like no one was home,

But I stayed around.

You never showed up, though I waited.

I don’t understand where you went,

But I hope you’re alive and well off in this life we each live.

 

(Chorus)

 

I see that you still aren’t here,

But I won’t let that make me stop living.

I won’t give up.

I’ll move on just for you.

Live for you.

Pray for you.

Wherever you are.

 

(Chorus)

 

I didn’t want to lose you to this awful place.

You made me dig up my words

And hold my head high.

From before my head was bowed to those

Who ordered me around.

You taught me to stand up and be proud against those who doubted me.

Til this day, I live for no one but you.

I don’t live for myself anymore.

I’ve left her in the past.

It’s all about you now.

And I won’t leave you behind.

All heart. Your words are full of spirit.
If I had a lighter...I'd be waving it right now.
