Why Should I Go On?

Why should I go on?
When the battles never cease
When the demons plague me daily
Why should I go on?
When there are so many
Sharp objects and pills
When there are so many
Ways to die
Why should I go on?
Because I am young
The whole world
Is within my grasp
Why should I go on?
Because I seek love
A man to be with always
Why should I go on?
Because I want to feel
A child stir within my belly
And later hold it in my arms
And call it mine
Why should I go on?
Because the are so many possibilities
Because there are so many reasons
To live.
