Life
A poem about life. None of us chose to be.
Man does some things more than just when time says it's due
A part of life and our journey
Living, laughing, loving, and conflicts await you
To deny the truth is to avoid your destiny
With a breath and a scream
Wailing throughout the world, you are
Stumbling through life, you're but a dream
Not your dream, it was, but it's come this far
Excitement and adventure are not what wise ones seek
Valuing your days will leave you more wise
In this world, things don't happen often for the meek
Something known to those with wise eyes
Chosen not by the walker
This life not his plan
He becomes a good talker
Living the life planned by another man
Choices abound for the strongest among us
Anything, they can be
Eventually moving along, they will do
A world to conquer once they're free
