life

life

A Poem by JoshuaB
"

life is a complex subject yet we talk about it like we know it, but what is 'life' really

"

Life can be many things

But the thing I think it is like the most

Is not a path, not a box of chocolates

But a maze.

 

It’s not a path because you cannot see a head of you

You can estimate what might happen

But in the end you will never truly know

It’s always a mystery.

 

It’s not a one-time deal of surprises

Those boxes of chocolates are the moments you live in

 Since you will always get that box of unknown

Never ending, until you breathe you last breath.

 

It’s not something that you can experience with others

After all no one can live two different lives at once

It’s something at we experience alone

We just find people to talk about what happened to us.

 

And it’s not something that we can go back and redo

The paths behind us fall and crumble

And new and old paths are formed

Never going back, never staying in one place, always forward.

 

It’s not something that is hard to accomplish

If it was, we won’t be at where we are now

But it’s not easy either

Since we always have problems everyday.

 

It’s something that we cannot change

No matter what we do, no matter where we go, we’re still in it

Never ending, with no hints, on our own

Until we die.
