Little things!

My views on life...

A tear in one eye...fear in both.
Trembling hands, with feet that can't stand
Fast beating heart, you can hear it like a drum
Is this all there is? Or there is more to life...
I wud say life sucks but that's being plain ungrateful
Used to be..but now... I notice the little gifts life gives me
The smiles out weighing the sadness
The happiness out weighing the misery..
Bad memories replacing the nightmares..
Traded Loneliness for friends...
Replaced the ache from heart ache with heart felt....
Lived and loved, felt the pain...but how else wud I be called a man.
Said sorry a million times...not because I was weak
Have felt the rain on my skin and sun on my cheek
Tried counting the stars...just to be amazed at how many they are....
Yes my journey as not been that of not jst fun and amazement bt sorrows too..
Have seen loved ones die..
Sisters and brothers, Nephews and nieces born
Been loved by family..revered by society...
Am sorry I could not be who you wanted me to be bcoz I am who am suppose to be!
have I seen all there is? Or just wat I need to?
I don't celebrate life bcoz I am living bt bcoz I have lived.
People dream of getting to worlds end ...bt is there not death and destruction there too? Our planet is dying and that's our fault! Our greed!, Our inhumanity, Our pollution...with all this we are still human! We love, we live, we grow,we rejoice, we cry, we die.....

Thank you for giving me such interesting work to read! Your take on life is interesting indeed! I usually to hate the phrases like "tear in an eye" and this is the only time I read it without cringing; rather I loved it.
But it would be so much better if "wud" was "would". Yes! Annoying Grammar Nazis like me exist here as well! ;)
