ALIVE (Free verse) by adrenalize
Feels the fear overpower him
The desperation that brings a man to his knees
Trying not to feel the pain
That kills him a million times over
This cant be happening to me he thinks
What have I done to deserve this
The shape shifter of an emotion
That has gotten a hold of him
Like a soldier of a doomed army
The drowning man who clutches at the straw
Praying and crying for Divine Intervention
His faith being his sole possession
Like a thunderbolt his salvation comes
Awe struck by the blind man who walks by smiling
And asks him
What???s the weather like young man
Is the sun shining in all its majesty today?
With his entire body frozen he somehow manages to reach out to the man
As he helps him across the road
He envies the contentment and serenity on his face
Until he finally realizes it
And like a born again man
He approaches the trash can and throws the gun inside
Manages a smile as he thinks to himself ???Today is a good day to be
alive???
