STAYING ALIVE

My life had no peace and no quiet 
But chaos, abuse and sorrow 
I had no hope to hang on to
I did not wish for tomorrow 
I had no answers left within me
Though I sought them with many tears 
A small little child looking out at the world 
With so many questions and fears 
I guess it doesn't take much love to grow
But trust was never in my eyes
I learned to question with critical thinking
My brain would quickly analyize
I searched for beauty around me
I searched for meaning and love
I had no one to guide me 
I looked all around and above 
I learned that you had to reach out and take 
My new goal was to stay alive
To find some kind of happiness 
Not just merely survive
So I planted my own garden
Watched as my life began to thrive
I captured and caught a few rainbows
And learned to be at peace, staying alive
