What a fierce, unyielding life this is—each breath demands its due,
To live at all, we labor twice; there’s no easy passing through.
Be it human or humble creature, the truth remains the same,
Every breath is earned with effort, every step a quiet flame.
Here, each soul must bear its burden, none can shift the weight away,
On this road, we walk alone, carving strength from day to day.
Life spares no one its trials; it plays no gentle part,
Even breaths feel rented here, taxed upon the heart.
Only through the heat of striving comes a moment’s fragile peace,
Life’s a test we keep on taking, with no promise of release.
I too wander in this journey, striving hard beneath the sun,
For to live is to keep living—until the race is run.
