Poetic Pennies For My Thoughts

Why should we live?

Why should we live?

I mean, after all, life is a pain in the ass.

There are many things in this world that try to trip us up.

And we feel discouraged,

and lost,

and sad,

and alone.

But why should we live?

We should live to enjoy,

to laugh,

to smile,

to be with our friends,

our true, genuine friends,

and to love our life,

and our families.

That's really cliche,

but honestly,

how else would you describe living?

Even though there are many disappointments,

and misfortunes,

and everything terrible imaginable,

some day,

if you make it so,

your life will be better.

If you want a change,

make a change,

even if it seems hard and

absolutely impossible,

things will change,

if you make an effort to change it.

And so,

we still ask,

why should we live?

We were all born into this world for a reason.

Find the reason that you live today.

And once you can answer the question, of why we should live,

then you know,

that you will have discovered life.

And you will have "lived".

We live to experience, 

to conquer, 

to just live. 

To you all, 

I say, 

carpe diem. 

Seize the day, even if no one else does.
