LIFE {AN ORIGINAL POETRY}

Life!
Life!!
Life!!!
What exactly is life?

Though scientists call it the period between birth and death,
But sometimes, humans can be a living corpse
Even though the lungs work properly,
And the mind remains fairly healthy.

Life is like a bed of roses; someone said,
Do roses grow thorns in them?
For the thorns of life causes me to whimper
Even though I hold on to the fact that I have to make do of what I have.

Life!
The real definition of struggle.
You back down;
You lose.

Life!!
An unpredictable era;
You let down your guard;
You are down.

Life!!!
A tenor where nothing is one hundred percent sure;
Even though death is a mandate
Why?

If truly we have only one life to live,
Why must humans live in a hive?
A place where the bees of life sting laughter
And we are forced to run until we are finally tired.

Fleeting life,
Though I have gone through a lot
But I long for unlimited happiness;
That I may have good things to say about life.
