"To be Alive or To Live?"

by Ocean Chant   May 1, 2020


There is an answer.
I have something to live for,
My truest wish,
To smile;
The purely happy smiles,
To feel with those.
For that, I’ll hold onto this so-so one,
Because it bears the pain of hope
Of finding my smile.
Ergo, I’m not alive nor living,
But I have something to live for,
Since I hope to become alive
Through smiling.

    Aww I love this poem. It's motivating, and it's like a reminder that we can continue living for the small things in life, such as a smile!

    Just one suggestion if you don't mind -
    I think the third line should be "My truest wish" instead of "My most truest wish".

    A smile is one of the most beautiful things in the world. And one day you will definitely smile truly, without hiding any sorrow behind it, and that day will surely come soon! Thank you for sharing this poem. =))
