Love Yourself

Love yourself

Once you were born

Once you will die 

What does this means 

What does this gape
Between our birth and
Death say about us

Do we only exist 
Or can we truly live 

Why must we die 
After to were 

Do I really know 
Why am here 

What does my space
Tell 

Will I be buried in it 
Mysteries or live 
Through it pain 
To gave my light
Back to the world 
At last

Hello Richard Nnoli, no one knows why we were born. No one knows when we will pass. It is a mystery. Have a nice evening my friend.
