PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

It’s a strange thing; living.
It’s odd to exist knowing that you are only going to die.
Even more so, it’s that you don’t even know when.
Life can seem so simple, so sweet.
Just living in the moment and taking things slowly, one day at time.
It’s the best feeling when you can just stop anywhere,
look around, and say “Life is good”.
But it seems like life doesn’t ever stay this way.
And in this thinking I feel I am not alone.
Things may get bad.
Friendships may be lost.
Lives taken and feelings hurt.
For me however, there has always been someone who’s had it worse.
This I believe is a sign saying “You feel bad for yourself? Well look around. They are doing worse”
I have grown to love what I have.
A home. A roof. A bed. A car.
Clothing and Food.
Family and Friends.
The simplest things are taken for granted everyday,
and for so long I did this.
I could die tomorrow and what would I leave in my wake?
Little, this I know.
However, if I were to die tomorrow,
I do not to wish close my eyes tonight and fall asleep thinking of something of I should have forgave,
or thinking of something I hoped to be forgiven for.
I do not wish to live filled with regrets,
and I do not wish to die, leaving others with regrets.
I may live to be 100 or I may live to be 20,
but I believe that you really only get one chance in life to truly live,
and I plan to take that chance.
