A life Is

A life without risks,
Is a life not worth living.

A life without love,
Is a life I don't want a part of.

A life without hate,
Is a life with  only one dimension.

A life without pain,
Is a life without feeling

A life without loss,
Is no life at all.

Even though you didnt sign for it,
you have to take the whole damn package

I found this poem sincere and optimistic. It's difficult to remain both honest and eloquent, but each line touches on the irony of this so-called life - love, hate, pain and loss. Life is risky, yet spun with serendipity. Regarding the last line - what if we did sign for it, sometime before our initial immersion? What if this life is really our second go? What if we lived several times before, but not to the fullest and, thus, chose to go again? That's why I like your poem and, with this in mind, I read it over again.

Each space between the lines are like an ocean where I feel like im choking. I would not say I like the effect it got on me. It is never nice to read some of my own battles -_- and trying to imagine the writter aswell.
