To Live

To Live

A Poem by Lainey

The future

A glimmer of hope or a looming foreboding can weave into a web of uncertainty
Glimpses of the future may happen to some, but none may truly know what their life holds
But that’s the point of it all, isn’t it?

People are afraid of the unknown because they can’t plan it out
They can’t be prepared for what tomorrow may bring
But that’s what makes humans alive

We have the free ability to think and feel and shift our opportunities and situations with a single word or action
A combination of these could make the difference between reputations, status, and overall happiness

The truth is another hard thing to hide, yet the future always holds room.
If not said upfront, the truth always has a way to twist the reality of the unknown to be revealed at some point

If not for the questioning souls of the people, we would not be alive
We would not have personalities
To be alive means to have a choice, to sustain a physical body, and to have a chance to satiate a soul

If not for the living, what would life mean?
