Let us live

I have a headache & thats how I know I am alive. 

It didn't come from lack of caffeine or food, or even  lack of sleep. 

The headache came from heartache to loud for words. 

I know i'm alive because I yearn for a place to call home.

Because "home" has a different definition now that i am older & I am alive. 

Sometimes I am afraid home just isn't for me. 

I am alive & I have the heartbeat to prove it. 

I have the stories & the battle scars, I wish would go away.

I am alive, we are alive, so please

let us live.
