What Is Life

some people call it hell, and others the opposite. 
nothing is perfect, so when is the human race going to stop it? 
never is the answer. 
we are only being taught once how to live life. 
so come on, you can get a high five. 
you live your life the way you want. 
so go on, and flaunt. 
but that doesn't always get you where you planned. 
why didn't we get a book, 
of rules of life... 
in hand? 
you have to learn to love and learn to hate. 
why couldn't it be easier? we have what we got and that is called fate. 
why are the crime rates so high 
and why is it so hard to say goodbye? 
because life wasnt meant to be easy. 
and that's always going to be the answer. 
so as they say, 
let the haters hate and let the rich flaunt. 
because unlike most, they live for taunt. 
you never know when good or bad is coming your way. 
so all you can do is pray. 
life can open or close doors, bad or good. 
just be prepared and dont be misunderstood. 
dont get caught up in this game, 
because you'll be the one to blame. 
so shoot for the stars and expect the lightening. 
that's my definition of life, how inciting?
