Life
It is a simple word
Yet it holds so much meaning
People use it everyday in many ways
But most people don't know what it means
After being alive so long you would think that you know what it is
Or maybe you do know what it is once you reach the age 70
As newborn babies we are ****** with life yet it came with no instructions
We try to make do with it
And in the end its all we ever know
Death
It often goes along with Life
And after a while we realize that death is part of life
You cannot avoid it, or change what it is
Just like you can't avoid eating delicious food when it is placed in front of you
You must be willing to let go of the life you had planned in order to live the life that is waiting for you
