Meaning Of Life.

Her soul was not living,

It was simply surviving.

 

Her mind was not racing,

It was simply searching for peace.

 

Her heart was not beating,

It was simply helping her to breathe.

 

Her life was considered meaningless,

Until she realized, she herself can give it meaning.

Wow, this is awesome. It is so simple, yet extremely powerful.

"Her soul was not living,
It was simply surviving."

I think a lot of people can relate to this, myself included. I love the fact that, as sad as this poem is, it has a message of hope in the last line. Very, very well done.
