I am Alive
By Brian

I am alive today.
No fear of how you behave.
Today I am alive.
No more one way street.
My life is alive.
I miss the comfort yet I am comfortable.
The sex was great, or so I thought, 
But what I need is love.
Love is the freedom of life with a friend.
I want your gifts but you don't want to give.
So why do I stay?
I am not staying. I am gone.
I am alive.
Your actions don't affect me. 
I am my own person.
I live.
I am alive.

Could I write a pose that tells you how I feel?
Would you understand it? Would you want to?
Would it make you cry? 
It is easier going through life as a victim is.
Do you want to be a victim?
I want to be human.
I live.
I am alive.

I have new meaning in my life.
I have been a perpetrator.
I have been a victim.
I have been guilty of being human.
Time to take responsibility,
Time to live.
I am alive.

Goodbye my love.
You're not for me.
Because, 
I live.
Because, 
I am alive.
