All We Know

All we do is run
Our days pass in a blur
Bruised and battered
Bodies grow and minds shrink
And hope is gone
The days pass in a blur
Whole pieces of ourselves are gone
Heart dies
Shrinks humanity

Stop to smell the roses they say. But as you say time is often too short for such luxuries. But keep on trying, and just maybe you will be able to save your sanity. You've written a very promising poem, keep it up.

An Excellent poem. On our bodies, we put a tremendous strain, we forsake our health and this is for gain. Why? We are here for a short stay, we brought nothing here and we will take nothing away. Love, Life, Live, Learn, LORD.
