Life is ..Life is …

Life is the space between your ears,
Life is the song that no one hears,
Life is the place that only you know,
Life is the grass growing through snow,
Life is the touch of a lover's hand,
Life is a castle melting in sand,
Life is the laugh that's stuck in your throat
Life is a poem that god wrote
Life is the shiver on a warm night,
Life is like death, only not quite.
Life is...Sometimes I wonder: what am I?
I look at the stars and feel very small;
just a tiny consciousness.
But if I were as tall as a planet,
I would still be short in comparison to the universe.

I see a person twice my size
and I feel weak and fragile.
But if I were strong and powerful,
I would still not be invincible.

I see a painting by the hand of a genius,
and I feel inexperienced and ignorant.
But if I were the greatest artist alive,
it would not make me love what I do any more or less.

I see blood, running from the wound of another,
and I feel a chilling fear from deep within.
But if I walked this earth with bravery,
it would n

What is life?
I don't know.
Life is just…life.
It starts, and it ends.
But what is it like?
It's not like time. Time cannot be stopped. Life can.
Yet, it's like a river. Rivers can be controlled. Life can be controlled.
So is life like a river? Nah.
It's not like a river, and it's not like time…
What is life? What is it like?
Well, I'd say…
Life is whatever you want it to be. Good or bad.
No one else can make you change how your life is except you.
The question now is…
What DO you want it to be?
It's your choice. Make it a good one.
The Truth to LifeDo we have a purpose, is a question one will often ask
Is there a higher power out there, some greater task
The truth will hurt many, not only a few
People have a hard time dealing with that which is true
There is nothing greater that watches your back
Deal with it, stop crying and build your own stack
You are responsible for the life that you lead
It is not someone else's fault when you don't get what you need
If one wants the stars, they must be grabbed by one's own hand
Nothing in life is freely given there is no promised land

So the question remains, why are we here
For those without faith, the answer is painfully clear
We liv
LifeI’ve seen the world with these two eyes.
A movie played inside my mind.
I’ve traveled the seas in half the time
Without ever leaving home.

I’ve spread my wings but didn’t fly
I’ve touched heaven, but I didn’t die
Had the chance to ask God why
Without ever receiving an answer.

I’ve count the stars and made to ten
Lost track and had to start again.
People laughed, but that’s how we make friends
Without ever knowing their name.

I’ve loved completely and watched them leave
I tell the story—some don’t believe
Let them go or did you flee?
Without seeing what tomorrow brings.

I&#
Comfort ZonesComfort zones exist,
But people don't know it's there
For getting out of.
my lifePeople don't want me to be me,
so they force me to be the person they want to see.
they don't see that their effect was reversed
or that my breaking point has been traversed.

I feel as though my mind is slowly being erraticated
and my once strong body painfully mutilated.
because of my affiliations,
i have suffered through many tribulations.

I want to just lay down and die
and let my soul drift towards the sky.
but i know it's not my time quite yet,
for i still have goals that need to be met.

So until i finish my final task,
a little peace is all i ask.
i do not wish to cause any strife,
i just want you to get out of MY LIFE!!!
LifeLife,
what is it?

Is it...
lies,
the pain,
destruction,
losing,
.....death?

Its been said,
life sucks.
For many.....
and it hurts.

The ones that lost a parent,
there heart was torn away....
What is she to do?

The one that changed to home schooling...
She has problems with friends.
Now she cant find any......

The one who's friends are now doing drugs,
There losing close friends......
They change  to,
smoking and alcohol

The one that is alone most of the time.
He is only known mostly threw the net....
Other than that he's really unknown....
What's he to do?

The one that almost died.....
I don't have to say any mor
MomentAs it came,
so it left-
quietly
Fill in the blank.Sometimes people leave 
these why-sized holes in our lives
after they depart.
wake upnonexistence.
then you open your eyes, and feel
the weight of your heart.
26. Tearssaline rivulets
of grief flowing downward from
melancholy eyes
ParametersI am unsure of
For how long I think of you
You defy my parameters
I Was MadeI was not made for people like you
I was not made to do as you do
The mold of this earth does not hold my shape
The mold of this earth is meant to break.

I was made to                  the heavens
                      fall      from
                          free

And land on my toes in a cloud of stardust and passion
FantasyI often daydream
Of seeing my reflection
In her wintry eyes.

:iconjulietcaesar:

Life is quite simple,
but we humans insist on
complicating it.
:iconjulietcaesar:
Just a haiku I made up a week ago, based on the Confucius quote, "Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated."

Would have posted it earlier, but internet was out.
