What Is Life?

By ray of light

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

What is life? I do not know. Is it a long narrow road? Or a stoned path to follow? Is it already there? Or do we create it? Is it hard or easy, To make a way through it? Is life a pleasant journey? Or is life a roller-coaster ride? Is life smooth or bumpy? Is it something we should put aside? Is life a thrilling mystery, Which we will have to solve? Or is life a novel, after each chapter, New meanings evolve. Some say life is a stage, Where everyone play their roles. Is life a staircase, Where on top lie the goals? Life is a game, is that true? Some win, some loose, Some don't know what to do. Is it that confusing, To figure what life is all about? It has been fifteen years, I still don't have a clue.
