You wake up everyday–

every single day.

What makes you get up everyday?

Some of you might tell me right away,

but some of you may not yet know.

I’ll keep living everyday,

thinking I know; knowing I know.

But, will I ever tell a soul?

No.

Life will keep beating me.

It will trip me up; tear me apart.

Life will keep loving me.

It will give me its gifts; let me play my part.

Some days it’s aimless,

other days I can’t think of anything else.

But please let you keep this to yourself,

here I’m sharing a piece of my heart.
