What is life
If not to live
If not to love
If not to learn
They say that to feel pain means that you are alive
But why is it relatable to such a negative thing?
Why must pain be the essence of life?
Are we here to suffer?
Is the aim of the game to test endurance?
With every breath being a countdown to an inevitable end,
Only to bring misery and pain to those left behind
To remind them of course that they are alive.
Child birth, one of nature’s miracles,
Literally bringing life into the world,
Renowned for the pain it brings,
Are we supposed to find happiness?
Only to lose it,
When we have happiness for too long do we forget that we are Alive?
Insert tragic event,
Remember you’re alive.
The gift of suffering on a silver platter,
Force fed on a silver spoon,
To keep us ever grateful that we get to endure the so called gift
What is life?
If not to fall
If not to lose
If not to burn
