Life is simple or so it should be, but it’s not always that way.

You live through a string of good and bad events that complicate things and make you question everything you ever believed in then return back to it, because its the only thing that makes sense.

And later when it is time for you to die, you don’t die all at once you fade piece by piece until only your soul remains.

This is the introduction I wrote for a poem in my speaking competition. I liked it and thought it'd make a good little poem
