Life’s bare existence

footprints leading to the brink

bottomless pit

Trapped headlong flight

never ending hereafter

snagged on life’s branches.

Awaken to life

cherished and blessed by the sun

Goodbye heartless world.

Gulp breaths of being

bare arms to vitality

open wide the door.

Life beats existence

treasure all it has to share

a delightful gift.

Do we exist

or do we live

it's a question we all must know

wake up at sunrise

go to school

put on quite a show

smile at friends

daydream during class

watch the wildflowers grow

now back home

the day was "fine"

homework like trudging through snow

autopilot runs my day

and my entire life

a seed the wind will blow

now ask yourself

is this living?

maybe one day we'll know❋
