A Pledge To Life
I know you think you will die
No, you won’t die
If things don’t get better
You will not die
If love fails you
You will not die
If your landlord kicks you
You still will not die
And the rain starts beating you
You still will not die
If your friends all leave
You still will not die
And you have to beg for food
You won’t die
And your wounds stop healing
You still will not die
And the sickness is unto death
You still won’t die
You will be doing nothing
nothing that makes it worse
You will be nothing, no one
And no one can’t die
The darkest moment is the moment of light
You will learn the meaning of your suffering
It will turn to suffering with meaning
like surgical pain
It is suffering with purpose
And you will not die
You will find purpose in the face of death
And you won’t die
When hope is the only thing that remains
You will not die
You will find a way of doing something
And you won’t die
You will be somebody
You will become who you should be
You will treat your future self with love and kindness
You will extend this to others beyond yourself
And you will love the world again
And when death comes
You still won’t die
You became love
And the universe will continue expressing itself in your name
