To Live

To live

Is to struggle

Every breath

Is a theft.

Every day a beginning

To make it through one, a miracle.

To live is violence

No matter how you shake it.

There are winners—

And losers—

In it all.

For one victory,

Ten defeats.

To live is beautiful,

Despite the carnage.

Life weaves a tapestry

The enfolds our entire lives.
