What Is Life


What Is life? For me it’s a gift  But at any moment it can make a great shift  I don’t care  I won’t take life for granted  Even if something doesn’t go how I planned it  Sure life is hard  But that’s just it  How can you fight if you can’t take a hit  Yes things go wrong  What are you gonna do  Mope around and think what may be wrong with you  Well that’s your first mistake  No matter how you think things through  Cuz there will always be something you just can’t do  So what you can’t do it  Don’t let it get you down  Don’t walk around the rest of your life wearing a frown  There’s still plenty more  You have plenty you can offer  You just have to learn how to make yourself tougher  So shoot for the moon  Cuz even with a bad arm  You’ll find you can still land among the Stars  So don’t regret what you do  Cuz it makes you who you are  Stay true to yourself  And you will go far

This sucks!

When I wrote this I wasn't thinking about that but I actually see that now because of experiences that I've had and I'm glad you saw that the poem needed something like that.

This poem poses a very complicated question, and I don't think life can be officially described by an individual, because our lives are changing everyday, and that makes us feel differently about who we are.
