We All Live A Life

This is a poem I wrote late at night when I had nothing else to do.

What is life?

It's actually a complicated question, 

One which holds many answers, 

Each of us have a different view.

We all live in our own little world, 

It might have peace and love, 

Or it could have pain and regret, 

But no matter what, we are all human.

The higher power above, 

Created man alike for a reason, 

We all have different stories to tell, 

Yet we are similar in so many ways. 

A lifetime is full of adventures, 

It is also full of long lasting memories. 

It is this place we live in and what we do, 

That shapes who we all become.

This doesn't sound like a poem, Travis...but more like a prose essay. It is a very deep question and very thought provoking. I like your ideas and your imagination. :)

"A lifetime is full of adventures,
It is also full of long lasting memories. "
The above lines are true. We must know pain and sweetness to have lived. No weakness in the excellent poetry.

This is so much more than a poem, it's philosophic! Great job.
