After everything is gone, what remains? A shell of me. Life's imperfections: I've struggled between good and evil, Then looked to be led by someone To have a personal relationship, Always seeking life answers, Attempting to resolve what's inside, Sometimes making selfish decisions – Choices we make for our own benefit. Thinking of survival from beginning to end, Retaining ground as we move forward, And living to move on more quickly; We do not have time to waste, Nor bully myself over any more failures. Make sure to try harder. Happiness is not having everything; It's the quality of our life. What we did is a forgotten past. Suffering never ends. Afraid of being alone, The existential life is often met with disappointment.
