Is This Life?

Coming out of the womb we cry
Is this the world where we’re left to try
Oceans deep and sky above high
Is this the Life where I’m left to fly?

Time and again we fall and we’re weak
Yet we stand up not accepting defeat
A few humans do accept retreat
But what is Life without such a treat

Earning for Life Yearning to strive
Pain is offered in different ways
Pleasure is a curse ,at the end we cry
Nobody knows it, a complex phenomenon as a hive

A Noise so Loud , seems to be Silent
Looking straight into one’s eyes yet seem different
We may be gifted with sight yet appear blind
Is this a new nature of human , of some “kind” ?

For it is Impossible to Rewind
And go back to where everyone was just Kind
For some may call me blind
But That’s Just Fine, as only a few are of our kind

There are talk about opportunities
Paths to new possibilities
Yet there are a few who make necessities
For us to make retreats

Why do we end up questioning life
Asking ourselves the true right,
Strengthening our muscles to test and fight

An Advice to all ,just go along
As you go Along Sing along a Song
For Maybe the path be Long
Stand up and fight, because 
You’re Strong!
