What to Live For?

Walls closing in
No escape
Cornered
Trapped

A hand on her face
Bony fingers
Cover her mouth
Silences her

A white light
Blinds her
Stopped in her tracks
Breathing shallow

A desperate gulp
Reach out
She can't have it
Just an illusion

The light goes out
Plunged into darkness
Nothing to guide her
Not a sound heard

Running
For hours
She is still in the same spot
The road led nowhere

Not today what she was yesterday
Muscles forget to smile
A sting on the cheek
Hand across the face

Lifeless limbs
A head hung
Wilting flower
Fallen, broken

I refer to a previous post about not saying and doing the right things. Or rather, saying and doing the wrong things. Constantly. It is a battle that I have with myself every single minute that I am awake and apparently I have been getting it all wrong. ALL. WRONG.

So can someone please give an answer as to the above question, the title of this entry?

Lifeless limbs

Wilting flower
Put out of misery

but thats awfully depressing, and i really hope you don't feel like there is nothing worth living for.
even waking up in the morning on a sunny day is nice.
