Teach Me Poem by Iris Mista

Living, can anyone teach me?
for I sit here, having no idea
how life should be

Is it about staying alive,
being able to bear
learning how to deal with strife?

Knowing how to push away the pain,
being what others want me to
always trying to be sane?

Is it about doing good for myself
with all I want to have
withdrawn in my little shelf?

Maybe I solely live for the other
without any selfishness
and then, why should I even bother?

As I sit here, all alone
nothing that can be done
it's solely me on my own throne

There is no happiness to feel
If there is nothing to share
fake kingdoms never are real

So, can anyone tell me now
how to live just for me
for I don't know how
