Is It Worth It

Eyes can see,
Arms are strong,
Legs can move,
So what is wrong.

Tongue can talk,
Ears hear fine,
Brain can think,
Too much sometime.

Mind is lost,
Ideas no more,
Can't find help,
What's it for?

Hope's no friend,
Despair less so,
Contemplate life,
The high and low.

Still I fight,
No choice but to,
Left alone,
So I can't hurt you.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
