Finally Alive

I won’t stop

By: Erin 

I have begun something good, no great

It’s hard, painful, and even exhausting

But I won’t stop

Because I finally feel alive

I won’t stop

Not after experiencing the

Feeling of my heart beating within my chest

As my soul laughs with my friend, the best

I won’t stop

Not after realizing the

Comfort that I can feel in deep devotion and prayer

In my times of joy and also in my moments of despair

I won’t stop

Not after witnessing the

Amazing people who are fighting this fight, and waging this war

Because this takes strength and determination down to the core

I won’t stop

Not after finally feeling the

Life pulse through my veins even in the midst of hot fire

Because life has become real and life is what I now desire

It took me so long to get here

Honestly exactly how it happened is unclear

But the journey was worth the wait

Because I have finally truly begun something good, no something great

And

I won’t stop

Because I am finally alive
