Life is...

an unknown path

Life is a mystery,

an unknown path.

It’s like a drop of water in a river

that gets lost in the currents.

It’s a secret in a box,

a rollercoaster

full of emotions and experiences.

Life is both love and sadness.

It is an open book,

filled with characters entering and exiting the scene,

reminding us of the transient nature of existence.

Character that tells stories that guide us through

paths of sadness, happiness, growth, and experience.

Life is a blessing,

an opportunity to learn from others,

to leave our mark

where others will walkthrough and feel

the experiences we've had.

Life is a puzzle,

Where pieces get lost, like when you get lost

leaving us with an incomplete picture.

In those moments,

we feel lost, broken, and confused.

Life is a question with many answers;

over time,

those answers lead to new paths and adventures,

that we are afraid to enjoy

paths filled with surprises,

sad moments, happy moments…

Life is hard,

a constant battle between good and bad,

in a world we want to enjoy

while others seek to destroy it

with just a few simple words that can tear apart true love

that others destroy trying to take control.

Life can be forgotten,

like true love, honesty, kindness,

respect, and loyalty.

Life is often unappreciated.

Life is like a heart,

fragile like glass yet strong like a rock.

It is a symphony,

full of different tones—

some happy, some sad,

some, like a heartbeat

that motivates you to keep going.

Life is you and me,

different voices, different minds,

confused at times, but also

striving to understand

what is real and what is a dream,

what is true, and what is a lie.

Life is...
