Life
Life is so much more than living.
It is following,
It is believing,
It is enjoying,
It is writing your own story as you live it.
Life is happiness,
Yet sometimes it’s sadness.
It is bravery and courage,
But still fear and dread.
Life is love and friendship,
Along with hatred and pain.
Life is so much more than we make it out to be.
It can be anything we want.
The reason for which we are living
Is ours to decide.
So why the fighting?
Why the wars?
Why the poverty,
The cruelty,
The homelessness?
Why the discrimination?
Why the killing?
Why the diseases,
The climate change,
The greed?
Why the corruption?
Why the pollution?
Why the disrespect,
The politics,
The lies?
We could be so much more
Than THIS.
