A hat,
A shirt,
A jacket,
A pair of pants,
Filled with a person.
But Who?
Filled with pain and rage.
Filled with hope and love.
Filled with the demons of everyday life.
Holding on by the last strand at moments,
Others just loving life.
What is the shirt jack and pair of pants?
A vessel for pure humanity.
Motions of life.
Filled with the spirit of music,
And the love of family.
Knowing what is possible,
And what is possible to obtain.
Going through life as an individual.
Not caring what others think.
Trying to fit in.
Loving life.
Problems arise,
New hope is found.
True hope prevails.
The pain and sorrow all are in the past.
True hope prevails.
The cycle continues.
It is my life.
