To Be Alive

The longest story
The darkest night
The most painful sacrifice
The hardest fight

The most beautiful gift
The most freeing grace
The most monumental opportunity
The most pleasant taste

The most trying trial
The best reward
The bloodiest wound
The best in store

Full of love
Full of hate
Always too early
Always too late

Coming undone
Coming together
Never alone
Alone forever

Finding yourself
Losing who you are
Going the distance
Never getting far

To wound
To heal
To be numb
To feel

To die
To strive
To be alive
