Dear life


What are you? What is earth, but a planet where death aspires What is home, but a place where sadness breeds What is the heart, but a thing that suffers in stone What is love, but a bond meant to be broken What is family, but people meant to leave What is a laugh, but a cover for sadness What is beauty, but a face meant to age What is the mind, but a place where vial thoughts are concieved What is life, but meant to to be taken What is a soul, but light that consumes you in darkness
