"So we shall let the reader answer this question for himself: Who is the happier man, he who has braved the storm of life and lived, or he who has stayed securely on shore and merely existed?" - Hunter S Tompson


To live life is:

To live
To fly
To cry
To die

To be happy
To be sad
To be mad
To be glad

To live life is:

To fail
To achieve
To stay
To leave

To win
To lose
To not choose
To choose

To live life is:

To disappoint
To appease
To mend
To please

To walk
To run
To fall
To crawl

To live life is:

To love
To be loved
To make love
To spread love

To live it
To ask yourself
At the end of it

Did I do it?
Did I live it?
Or Did I waist it?


To be or not to be?

HA!

There is no question.

I love the simplicity of this poem and I think you really have a gift in writing. All of the things in this poem are completely correct and if someone doesn't expirence them, they're not really human. I'm reading all of your work, by the way.
