I've Lived

I'm Still Here

By Deon DurrPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

I’ve lived in the sense that I’m still

alive.

I’ve lived in the midst of the deepest

heartbreaks. I’ve smiled to the point

where I’ve cried. I’ve been thankful in

the moments where I should have been

selfish, I’ve been grateful in the moments

where I should have been heartless.

I’ve seen clearly, but I’ve followed blindly.

I’ve seen the light after many hellish fights,

but still found a calm sense of self in the

dark.

I’ve traveled far but never taken a step, I’ve

taken a step and went to the reaches of the

creativity. I’ve dreamed to be among the

stars, I’ve woken up and created realities

and crafted countless galaxies. I’ve looked for

myself when I wasn’t even missing. I’ve

found me even when I thought there was

nothing to find. I’ve failed, but I’ve lived

life with everything.

I’ve lived feeling like I wasn’t enough. I’ve

lived knowing I was everything. I’ve lived

writing out my pain, I’ve lived singing my

heart out. I’ve lived in the pulse, but never

in the loop. I’ve lived knowing peace, I’ve

lived embracing me.

I’ve lived in the sense that I’m still

alive.

I’ve lived in the sense that I’m still

here.

I’ve lived.

I’m Alive, I’m Living...
