Death vs Life

by yellowb   Dec 23, 2003


Death, so easy,
no pain, no destuction,
just peace and gentle sleep.

But the price is high,
for this gentle eternal sleep.
To feel no happiness, sadness,
joy, hate, love, emotion.

To have not even the chance,
to overcome our challenges,
that face us, to sinply admit defeat.

To have not even the chance,
to explore the fullness of life,
to know, simply, life is wonderful.

To miss amazing everyday wonders,
meeting a stranger for the first time,
talking to friends, falling in love,
experiencing the worst of life,
and coming out on top.

To live, truly live, is...
experiencing life at its best,
and finding out the best of you,
at the worst of life.
