Death or Dying

How is it possible that I am able to keep going when I feel so broken?  My lungs feel shattered, yet I breathe.  Somehow life keeps moving; I must go along or be swept away.

Do I choose death over dying?

Death would be quicker, but too final.  I’ve hurt before – badly…yet I have smiled after.

I think I will hold on – knowing that “joy comes with the morning.”
