Before I was conceived I chose
to exist within this life of decay
And although I cannot remember why
I can only imagine it was for its experiences
to sense and perceive life in an alternate way
To desire life with its pleasures, its beauty
But did I really want to exist
with pain, suffering, and fear?
Did the good outweigh all the bad?
Or was I so alone without these
that I took them all, just to feel alive?
Because above all I do feel alive
and desire life with all my heart.
