To Be

Existence,
is it as questioned; 
to be or not to be, or
is it just being without a true
contribution or effort and thought?
I say, to exist,
one must give up their
existence for the good of another,
sacrificing who they are in order to become
who they were meant to be.
Therefore,
to exist, you
must die unto the world,
not to be recognized, but to become
part of the existence of all, part of the
human family.
