Life

Every second we live something happens

Storms happen, children are born, funerals are held

No one knows when they’ll take the bullet next

Whether you live or die, people will experience everything


It may not be today, but it will be tomorrow

It didn’t happen yesterday, but it will happen today

Crime and crime happens over and over 

When will the end come to that, no one knows


This poem comes from within and not without

Eyes have seen, but feelings have not felt

We live for everyone who needs us

When indeed we need ourselfs

Cries of hurt COME but never GO

and with that we have Life


The author's comments:

I wrote this poem because I wanted to express how difficult life is with all the obstacles that come with living. I also wrote it to share with other people how life is not as simple as everyone thinks it is.
