1000 Deaths

I have died 100 deaths

Each one caused by some single incident 

Some never were meant to touch me 

I just was not able to avoid the blunt force 

Some sort of just happened

I have now become stronger 

I am a testimony to what is

This life, living 

I have died 1000 deaths 

Each one caused by an inconvenience 

This was neither meant to me nor for me

Each time has just made me stronger 

I am made up of your greatest desires 

Is this the wrong road?

Pursuing this unknown finish line 

But every time feeling closer to an end 

I am a testimony to what it is 

To have been 

Alive

Oh to have a passion for something greater than your own

I have now died 10,000 times
