Life

Life is temporary.
the little boy sitting in the waiting room knows it,
when he sees his mother dead.
the girl who wastes her life,
watching tv
starts to believe,
that life is so much more,
than just temporary.

That little boy,
will become a man,
and die the same,
watching tv,
suddenly.
The girl with the wasted life,
will become a doctor,
and live,
to become so much more,
than just depressed,
than just happy.
