Define life

It’s certain, but it’s not

You have life if you’re reading this

But what about tomorrow, tonight

One hour from now, a minute?

Is that certain


Life's good, but not really

You can eat, swim, dance

Binge watch that one show on Netflix,

Get kicked out of your house

Sleep on your favorite park bench

Starve for three days

It’s great! But to what extent

When is life not good enough

When do you throw in the towel


So, define life...

My definition of life is the chance to love and be loved, to feel sorrow and hate, to experience... everything. And the greatest challenge of life... will be to keep on living. So keep on living, because if you die, you will miss all those little moments that make life worth living. And any moment death might be around the corner, so "live life to it's fullest". This poem really makes you think. Thanx.
