I Wanna Live Not Just Survive

I wanna live not just survive
I wanna be able to wake up happy
Not always cry

I hate feeling this way but thats whats inside, so I have to let it out, so I wont scream and shout

Im a Inspirational Poet
My struggle is real, just by looking at me
you wouldn’t even know it
Because no matter what im going through, I always manage to keep a smile on my face

But deep down inside theres a bitter taste thats trying to subside
But thats not always easy to do
Hide all of the hardships my family and I are currently going through

Yeah…who knew?!
Im Poetically Spoken
And I fell too
That just goes to show you the struggle is real

I just wanna be able to live my life and be happy, well…thats just how I feel

We tried seeking help but no one seems to care, which left my girls and I in the middle of nowhere Literally sleeping in my car, wasnt the best decision of mine, just means we didnt have a place to lay our heads at the time

I say it again I just wannna live and not just survive

I find myself stating that all the time
Cries in the dark, 3 broken hearts
It just seems like we dont matter but I know we do

Try taking a moment and step in our shoes
How would u feel if the whole world forgot about you?
Going to so called family who often turn there backs because they didnt care where we were at, under a bridge or in a parking lot

Is this the meaning of family? I think NOT!

Im Poetically Spoken, im here to share these powerful words from 3 voices that went unheard

United we are, united will always be

This is all apart of our dark and stormy journey, spoken poetically

  1. For the longest time I saw a dark and dreary path set for me and my future, I continued looking for some answers. Stuff does change every single day, we have to figure out a way to bring light out of those dark situations. This was a beautiful poem and I applaud you for it.

  3. You are sheltered, in a way not always seen or felt. In hope I found that the struggles didn’t end but a greater strength was given, through writing a strong foundation of love stands. You have the strength of that foundation.

  4. I understand every words of what you’re saying. Living and not just surviving. I live every day trying to outlive the stigma of victim or survivor. It’s hard but its doable and most importantly….it gets better as long as you keep living.
