The Right to Live
March 21, 2012
What must be done has been done
Over and finished
You’re not supposed to cry
Over what’s been done
But sometimes you cannot
Help it
The world gives you
Happiness
And you think it will last
Forever
You are always
Proved wrong
Our pasts meet
To create a future
A bright future
With ones that left
Without resist
And ones that just wouldn’t
Give up their right
The right to live
The right to survive
The right to rise again
And laugh at death
Saying
“I’m still here!”
