Life
I swear to you that life…
is so much more than just living,
Than getting by on a paycheck.
Life is laughter
And tear drops on concrete
Life is breath marks on windows
The smell of rain
Ice cold lemonade
Experiencing everything you never thought you would and even more
The good and the bad
Feeling pain you never imagined
And joy that makes it all worth it
Life is inexplicably extraordinary
In every way imaginable
So, amidst the chaos,
try not to forget to live
Something wrong with this poem?

I'm a Grad student now studying Biochemistry and Biophysics (not sure how I got there). I guess I've been using this site for nearly 8 years now though sometimes I went years without writing much of anything. I write what I feel and I write what I need to let go of. Sometimes I write about a dream or a nightmare I had, If I can tell the difference. I fell in love for poetry in high school and continued to write in college. I hope to publish a book someday as well (leave a comment if a poem speaks to you). P.S. My Instagram is @CottonCandyPoems
