what is heaven?
what is hell?
is it the places where demons
and angels dwell?

what is life?
what is death?
is it the cause that leaves you broken
and sad?
or is it the cause that makes you laugh and smile... by force?

what is joy?
what is depression?
is it the empty expression you show,
or the paradox life you live?

what is love?
what is hate?
is it the power of attraction to one another?
or the anger and fear pushing others away?

what is a human?
what is a monster?
is it the living beings walking
upon this shattered earth?
or the being hiding inside our broken bodies?

why the low self-esteem?
is it because the judgement they sow?
or the inner hate and fear you bare inside?...

what is faith?
what is hope?
is it the trust you have in someone?
or the feeling of discouragement ?

what is time?
is it the illusion we witness every day?
or the thing that determines age?

what is marriage?
what is divorce?
is it the bond between two loved ones displayed through rings?
or the papers you fill in after one fight?

what lies beneath our skin?
but beyond our minds?
will we ever know?

what is love?
is it the heart-racing moment you experience
when your eyes first meet?
or the sudden fluttery feeling inside your stomach?

what is anger?
is it the moment when hate takes over?
or the moment when your frustration makes you
lash out at someone or something?

what is equality?
is it the respect you show others by handling them
the same despite their sexuality, race, religion, etc.?
or the judgement we sow across everyone?

what makes a person rich?
money?
or love?
