I’m wondering why I said this
Because all I seem to do is exist.
I want to do more to live
I need to go out and give
My all for this short life,
To end the sorrow and strife,
I want to LIVE.
Author notes
Existing is simple,
Living is an entirely
Different story.

Hey Julia! I guess that I've decided to comment again. My last comment was just for the contest. So now I've come to comment for real. Good job on winning the bronze trophy. It was an anonymous contest so I didn't know who got what until after I judged it. I'm guessing that since the quote was yours, you knew it better than anyone, but I really liked it. That last line with the caps really emphasizes it. Great poem!
