What It Means To Live
October 10, 2016
Adapted from: Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird
I was afraid of how many times I had made this journey.
I walked steps with sickness and I had given life my all.
But ,
In return had never given all the way.
I looked behind me as I walked,
Stopped, stood,
And turned around.
I thought the night had faded away.
It was finally over.
The waiting with woes and triumphs had stopped blazing.
I then looked and realized I had made my way home.
