Alive?
What does it mean to be alive?
To be alive is to have a purpose.
To be alive is to be ambitious.
To be alive is the ability to walk my life's path.
Being alive isn't merely existing;
It is to struggle.
I am walking on my life's path,
With ambition as my machete,
I carve my own way.
Unshaken by the wilderness,
I refuse to sway.
The wilderness is the harness of life,
The thorns are my failures,
The trail of blood is my mark.
I shall grit my teeth and forge ahead,
For I strive to be extraordinary.
Today I tread on grass,
Tomorrow I shall step on mountains and rivers.
I will walk my life's path until the end,
Until death comes to claim me.
I shall have no regrets,
For I lived fully,
For my life held meaning.
I shall die trying,
With a smile on my face.
So let me struggle more,
I refuse to be ordinary;
I want to defy the trials of time
With my achievements.

I’m just an existential wanderer who happened to stumble into poetry. I think about writing more than I actually write—not the best poet, but trying to get better, word by word, as I share my thoughts and voice.
