Reason

I figured out my path in life
I have plans to make it there
Now instead of being nonchalant
I have reason to care.

I'm going to open a shelter
And save many animals lives
I'll learn all I can about the business
Until my mind is sharp as knives.

I tried to end my life before
And then again and again
But I figured out I'm not supposed to die
Or the pills would have been the ones to win.

And so I'll start my journey
On this path that leads to dreams
And hope this new found reason
Will forever silence silent screams.
