When Did I Die?

When did I die?
When did my life end
When I drew my first breath?
Was it when I first saw the world
Did I die when my best friend went away?
Did I die when my father said, "He's not mine."
Did I die when my family fell apart?
When one person after another left my life?
Did I die when she did?
Was I buried under rubble too?
Or did I die when they first saw death on her face?
Did I die when I was hanging?
Or swimming for my life?
Or fighting to survive?
Did I die when I felt alive?
Or those nights I cried?
It's not how many times I survive
But how many I have died.
