They said, life is precious.
But how can a life spent chasing the countless dreams
That are yet to be achieved, ever be
Precious.
They said, every story is different.
But how can two stories with the same fate
Ever more than seem to be.
Different.
Some say, we should enjoy our youth and the life with no responsibilities,
But they're drowned out by the screams of those that say we should get an education
do well in school
get a good job
Because in reality each of our futures rely on the decisions we make today.
Because in reality each of our futures rely on the how well we do as kids.
Is it possible to look back at your life in fifty years and say you don't regret it?
The society makes poor excuses of what dreams are
When the only dream that really is
Is to look back and say you did it.
You lived your life with no regrets.
No second thoughts.
Is it possible to enjoy the youth
And the lack of responsibilities it claims to have?
The party we throw on a friday night in an atempt to enjoy our youth
Instead of doing the assignment lying unfinished on our desk.
Your grades are dropping.
What about your future.
If you want a good life, get good grades.
We often confuse the words living and surviving with one another.
We are told to live our lifes
But how much living is it
If every move we make
Reflect onto the next?
There's a fine line between surviving and living
And the human race seem to be dancing around
Somewhere along that line.
So how precious can life really ever be
When we're never really living it?
And how different can our stories ever look
When we all follow the same pattern?
A poet by Nadia.
