Poem #63// Life

What is the world without secrets?
The soft whisper in the dark.
The one person you trust.
Would there be anything to tell,
If there were no secrets?

What is the world without love?
The deep emotion that breaks us.
The one person that makes us.
Would there be a true purpose to life,
If there was no love?

What is the world without hate?
The word we were taught never to use.
The one person who makes our life hell.
Would there be any character in us,
If there was no hate?

What is the world without mistakes?
The thing that we all fear the most.
The place were success is born.
Would there be any genius,
If there were no mistakes?

What is the world without opinion?
The things that we are entitled to.
The one view that makes us who we are.
Would there be any arguments,
If there were no opinions?

What is the world without peace?
The thing we all hope to achieve.
The one place where we feel connected.
Would there still be war,
If we still haven't found peace?

What would the world be without secrets?
Without love?
What would the world be without hate?
Without mistakes?
What would the world be without opinions?
Without peace?

Would it be a life worth living?
Or nothing at all?
Would it be everything we dreamed?
Or everything we feared?

Life is what we make it.
Life is the mistakes, the decisions we make.
Life is our opinions.
Life is what we make it.

For life is peace.
But it is also war.
~a.k.

I've been meaning to write this poem for forever, but I haven't gotten around to it because I am so busy (and quite honestly, lazy). But here it is. I hope everyone had a good holiday <3
