My Will to Live

A Poem

They try to push me into a specific corner.

Try to mould me into another soldier.

With promises to fill my head and relentless dreams.

But I can not accept playing into their schemes,

For I resent perfection that should be me,

And mournfully bury the girl that I used to be.

For I am here, only in the now.

Living in a city far away from my hometown.

With nothing more than what I can give,

My heart, My soul, My will to live.
