If I was on an
If I was on an island, what would I bring?
A book to read? Some songs to sing?
"What could I not live without?" is a better question to ask
Finding such a thing is a hard task
My phone! To continue talking with my friends
No wait, the battery's life would be sure to end
All the money I have saved!
Wait, nothing to spend it on,it might as well be buried in a cave
How about my father and mother?
So that we could all share the same bother?
I wouldn't want them to share the same isolated pain
This question is driving me insane
How about the memory of my parents, who were oh so kind
How about my entire peace of mind
With all the disruptful things in everyday life, we tend to abuse it
While those stuck on island tend to always lose it
Some people have been in that 'stranded island' situation
Some of the resued has lost touch with human civilization
While others saved go back to living the life they had behind
The others that I haven't mentioned never made it to the boat that made the lucky find
They were never able to make it off the island
They would spend the rest of their life on the sand
Some of the deserted died immediately, others ended up living a life that's long
Some of the people were weak, while the others were strong
The weak lost theirs, but the strong found their peace of mind
If you lose your peace, your death certificate would be as good as signed
You may die by yourself when it all ends
At least you could always remember your family and friends
The original question was to think of some things I couldn't live without
My answer is my peace because I could never feel lonely when I still have my thoughts
