Yet

A yawn and a sniffle
an eye closed, a push
to make it open

Beguiled and yet alive,
Betrayed yet willing to
take another chance

Been hated yet wanting
for love
Been rejected yet waiting
for acceptance.

Devoid of hope
yet wanting to risk again
So dejected
yet willing to go another mile

So old
yet so happy to see another day
So dead
yet so happy to be still alive.
