The Only Reason

There is one goal for us One challenge that brings so much To live. No, To live There is but one way to truly feel That is to live, of course For without life, there is no love No hate No emotions upon which we depend Would you rather survive? Chew upon the mundane and unexciting? That, my dear friend, is not living Yes, To live thrusts risk onto oneself The risk of heartbreak and betrayal and devastation But, without the dark there would be no light To live is to be, And to be, Is the answer
