I sit and stare all around me <br />And wonder <br />Is this real? <br />If I take a breath <br />If I move will everything disappear? <br />Time is short <br />I feel the end pressing near. <br />I can't run <br />I can't hide <br />My heart is filled with fear. <br />Do I just sit and whither away? <br />Or do I fight to live? <br />What is the point? <br />We all die in the end. <br />Yet out of desperation <br />and greed for my life <br />I emerge from the shadows <br />of gloom and strife. <br />The decision is mine <br />and I choose to fight.<br /><br />Crystal Bradley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-live-18/
