Dianne Chrystine Manzano Poet Free verse

Set Up

One's life is already planned
Before it was bloom
As if predicted 
Without even picturing the future.

Once gifted to be born
Life itself will be alive
As if predicted
Without the future telling it.

However, life somehow can’t live
It needs courage, love, and faith
Joy, sadness, and sorrow
Any emotions should take.

As well as the experience
One's life should make
As if no one expected
Even what the future predicted is.

One's life is enjoying
And itself should be enjoyed
As if there’s no tomorrow
Nor whatever is ahead.

Because one's life is already planned
It was predicted to begone
The difference is,
What time do your limits’ expire?

And that is how ones life lives and die
As if predicted
Without the future telling it.
It was all set up.
