One Life by ~DarkRaven1:iconDarkRaven1:

Categories Literature > Poetry > General Poetry > Open




I can hear it now
The rain upon my window
Something inside me
Answers to it's call

How long have I stood here
Watching the world go by
Never really understanding
What it meant to be alive

It's a funny thing, life
Full of mysteries and mazes
Branching roads, but no signs
Endless skies, but no wings

Sometimes, I lay awake and wonder
What does it all really mean?
Are we destined for greatness,
Or just for nothingness?

One life to live
So many paths
Which is the right one?
And how many are wrong...

Will we ever figure it out?
Or do we die still wondering
What is life meant to be
And how do I live it?

Put one foot in front
Smile up at the sun
Dance wildly in the rain
And leave nothing to chance

I love this poem..very introspective and it covers issues everyone must deal with..but hey..I guess that's why they call one's religion a faith..Everyone hopes that their beliefs will take them somewhere after they die..

False hopes are only false, if you haven't taken a second to measure a task, if you have, and you can still have faith in yourself to do a good job, then there's no reason you shouldn't be confident
