Life Worth Living

              Today is a new day
I awake with a smile, an unsure smile
      Getting up I feel the cold
Wrapped tight in the black blanket
Steps taken towards trees fail to bring warmth
  The whitened wet floor brings heat
      Questioned past, empty heart
             Pasts loves, ugly path
      Empty heart, empty stomach
    Dangerous streets, paper walls
           From hated to hated,
              Lonely to lonely
     Steps toward the same life
     Steps toward a new world
Happiness rare, but living is great worth
 Towering buildings to run down buildings,
Begining with cows, with corn, with fields
 Ending in gangs, dark allies, scary faces
      Proud moments in tough times,
Questionable choices, yet needed such life
 Learned active arts in cold winter times,
           Jacket worn, little warmth
          Active sport, quick learning
                 Life worth living
              Sleep for a new day
