Alive

The blood pumping through our veins.
Our hearts beating all the same.
I look at it as if it's beautiful red rain.
Trickling its way down, it seems to stop and say forget about the pain.
I can feel my body become numb,
As I tell myself I'm someone.
What it's like to feel no shame.
To have the knife planted in your chest.
And never feel any blame.
I close my eyes just to rest.
Knowing you've tried your best.
Eyes open again, heart beating.
Reminds me I'm still here and not bleeding.
I'm finally alive.
As if before I died inside.
Until I realized, there's nowhere to hide.
No need to try.
It's better to stand up and live your life.
Fight for what you believe and put down that knife.
