Same place

We all headed to the same place

Living in the same orb

Watching us as we pray

Or we prey for our lives

To be gay

To be alive 

To breathe but then die

It watches us as we cry

As we jump off the sky

And demand a better pay

Life feels too expensive sometimes

So you keep your ticket

For a refund, free of charge

But it doesn't care

The giant orb swallows it all

Until we meet again

We headed to the same place anyway

My friend

I'll see you when the sun sets

I really liked this poem, it had a lot of emotion attached to it. The nod to death with the line "were all heading to the same place" gives comfort but also and uneasy feeling, because we all face it someday. My favorite line though is "life feels too expensive sometimes." It has different meanings, like its not just about money, but also happiness. Life can costs us a lot more than we realize. Great poem Sarah.
