How do I put this into words
I'm alive but not forever
I've lived and experienced so much
I've felt pain, sorrow, love, happiness
you name it I've felt it
I saw the beginning
the universes explosion
one day I'll watch it fizzle
I've lived forever
I've seen it all
witnessed amazing
felt everything
loved so much
cried, felt sorrow, pain
witnessed cruelty
saw the best and worst
I'll continue to age
witness so much
I've lived forever

If when we die we go to heaven
what would this paradise look like
blue skies
fields of green
clear rivers
happy faces
tables of food
lakes of our favorite drinks
a big guy in a golden chair

If when we die we meet God
staring into his eyes what would you see
the big bang
evolution
E=MC2
Answers
everything

If when we die we go to Heaven
if when we die we meet God
what will we see
what will he think
how will we feel
If when we die

When I was a kid we played over the park
climbing trees, building tree houses
playing football, sometimes gutters
challenge strangers to a game
Tag, bulldog, hopscotch, pogs and more
paper ball fights, pillow fights, play fights
when I was a kid we made friends and stayed in touch
playing outside

When I was a teenager we played against our friends
websites, bebo, myspace, msn, yahoo, chatrooms
listened to new music, bands we never heard off
photos all the time plastering the web
when I was a teenager we played games like snake
trying to hold on to our child mind as we got older

In my early 20's, things changed
Myspace no more, we moved to Facebook
Selfies, more selfies and even more selfies
Youtube, Twitter, so many ways to make friends
stay in touch

Edging closer to late 20's
Snapchat, Instagram, Tinder, Whats app, Vine
so many ways to make friends
nearly 30 years, I've experienced so many ways to remain social

I miss those days, climbing the trees
because I could
running without a care in the world
no worries, to problems, favorite teachers, best friends
so many ways to be social
I had a way I wanted this to turn out in my head, well It's safe to say I failed, I hope you like it but if not I'll understand.. Thanks for reading

You asked a great question
Would anyone miss you if you were gone
If you slipped away in your sleep
if you took the knife from the draw
if you lay their bleeding to death
hanging grasping for air
would anyone care
you asked a great question
and the answer would be
I'd care
I'd miss you
because I love you

What is the meaning of life?
why are we all here?
For millennia some of the greatest philosophers have tried to answer
but today, in this great age, the answer is still unknown
we all have a different answer when asked the question
what is the meaning of life

To live our dreams
to leave a legacy
to make the world a better place
to improve ourselves
to be happy
to explore
to learn
to feel

For millennia we've searched for an answer
the greatest question
what is the meaning of life

To me it means
evolve our minds
explore every emotion
see the world
learn always
forgive and love everyone

every single person on this great planet
everyone of the 7 billion plus people
will have asked and answered the question
what is the meaning of life?

I was out with my friends
couldn't believe what I saw,
in the corner
all alone
sat a woman
reading a book.
Don't know why
but I had to talk to her
I was nervous
but it didn't last
3 hours passed
before we realised the time
she was perfect
I found myself amazed by her
we left together
haven't looked back since
