Life isnt measured by likes on a post,
Or followers, friends, or tweets.
Life can't be counted by people we meet
Or losses we face.
Life doesnt keep a tally sheet
Marking down our scores.
Life isn't measured by the breaths we take
But it isn't counted by the moments that take our breath away, either
Life can't be drawn out for us, and counted on a graph
It can't be explained or sectioned off into days, months or years
We carve our own paths, and we don't need to count the steps
Because wether you use 0 or 26 letters,
Wether your heart beats 2 or 200 times
We are not numbers, we cannot be counted. We are so much more.

We are not numbers, we cannot be counted. We are so much more.
Numbers are something we created, but life is something we were given.
