Premium Member Complete the Puzzle - Life Or Death
Life's pieces fit together, one by one.
Inserting them is challenging and fun,
For each shape adds to making of the whole;
Eventual completion is the goal.

Just like a puzzle, each piece falls in place.
Before our death, we must complete the race.
So many times, confront an empty space;

Life Or Death
Light pushes up against my guarded window 
attempting to uncloak what lies untouched 
warm amongst the darkness, the silence, the unknown 
life of the living, the giving, but still alone 

Where are you as my insides burn? 
When I am here pushing but for what?...

Saved by the skill of the surgeon’s knife
All we prayed is that he spared your life
Fortunately the cancer has been removed
Every faith in the surgeon has been proved

Cancer is a scourge across our nation
Most cancers are caused by gene mutation
We face this disease with fear...

Life Or Death
As long as I can remember,which is about 40yrs,
I have always felt different.I have a different
outlook on how life should be.People think that
I use my mental illness as an excuse for the things
I do or how I think.I can only wish it was an excuse.
I...

Premium Member Silently -- Life Or Death
Silently, in a potter's field
Obsequious souls do yield
Unfettered from mortal pain
Lamenting to darkness in vain

Life in the physical sense
An existence with recompense
With a facade of vain pretense
Upon judgement the debt will commence

We are all far from perfection
Requiring daily reverent reflection
The conscience is the souls detection
Of...

Life Or Death
I sit here pondering my death. 
As I look upon the remnants of my tattered remains for signs of my so called life, I come to the conclusion that to do this, I must first accept the fact that I even had a life. 
But...

4 Life Or Death
We were born to die
Before life, we were in existence
We shall be in existence
Death  doesn't take that away
It only kills the physical form
We left spiritually, with our soul
keep it at heart
For we don't belong to anything or anyone
We were created by a Supreme Being
And...
