What is life?

What is life?

Life is a series of journeys that I have made

Journeys of the womb

Birth

Youth

And male

Many been pleasant but for some reason most have been painfully hard.

My eyes have seen many things.

The poor robbed

Evil unleashed on the good

The fool tricked

And incredible intelligence “taken for a ride”.

I have read many episodes too

Read between the lines

I have seen how they play with words the way I play with mine.

Life has troubled me.

Made me vulnerable

Broken

Bruised

Abandoned and cast me aside.

Experienced life’s miseries

Have lost my way home

Sunken to depths

Confused and discovered the meaning of low

Not to be unfair

I have had me some joy

Held my child close even though for a while

I have felt what it means to have lost my true love

And to be stuck with the question and no reason why?

There I so much to this

Much more I have missed

So much I will never know

So many twists

So take it or leave it

I take it as I see

This is life to me

What’s yours?
