My reason to live

You are my living reason
enlightening
at the doom of day
pulling me through when
everyone else
has washed my hopes away

Waiting at the end
of my fading nightmare
without asking questions
just reaching your hand
you smiled the last raindrop away
and opened the door
of long forgotten freedom
that I failed to understand

If ever should come a day
where clouds of understanding
will put aside
our freedom of mind
I shall not blink but proudly stand
and challenge whomever
as long as I’ll find
my reason to live
