Life is but a petty,
Though surprisingly significant, game.
And us fellow people of this word
Are the players
We do not live to love
Or love to live
We simply just be
We carry on throughout our lives
Withstanding shame and regret
Overpowering cruelty
And falling to the dirt in pain
Picking ourselves up time and time again
For what?
Some say success, some say strength
That each experience makes us stronger
Maybe so...
But for what?
Life is very pointless
This game has no big finish
Nor' a reason for the events that take place
Life is but a pathetic game...Why not just cash out early
And save ourselves the gut wrenching reality?
Author notes
This is SOMEWHAT...what i think about life in general. Though my thoughts on the subject contradict themselves because I believe that we do live to love, and love to live in some way or another...I believe we are all here for some purpose in life. Each soul is meant for something, whether it seem small and petty to ourselves, our life could mean so much more to someone else. Anyway, drop me a comment if you would like.
PS- Good luck with the contest.

I like this poem a lot, hun. It feels kind of like how I feel:
We do not live to love
Or love to live
We simply just be
We carry on throughout our lives
Withstanding shame and regret
Overpowering cruelty
And falling to the dirt in pain
But, then it shows another part of me that I'm doing even now, after she put me through Hell so recently...
Picking ourselves up time and time again
For what?
Some say success, some say strength
That each experience makes us stronger
Maybe so...
Wonderfully done, miss.
