This is Life
A bit of a downer, this one is...(I wrote this in more of a blank verse way...less rhyming, just trying it out)

What is life?
A dream, as some believe?
A first step to discovering yourself?
Perhaps one of a series?
Whatever life may be it is difficult in its own right.
Rich or poor, big or small,
Something happens to disrupt your peace.
Hardships befall you, travesties await.
Life is fraught with danger,
For it is life with which danger is associated.
Pain, agony, sadness, and fear,
All are symptoms of life,
Yet we hate them so and wish them to dissipate.
Like a flashing bolt of lighting,
You can blink and be gone.
Your corpse remains,
But your soul is gone.
Where is the answer to life?
Does it lie in death?
The only way to know,
Is to draw your last breath.
Wracked with evils and perils great,
Filled with things to send us to death.
What awaits us after we live?
God, Enlightenment, another chance, or do we cease to exist?
Joy and happiness,
What are they?
A small break to keep us sane?
Not enough in this day and age,
To prevent murder, rape, and abuse.
Lend a thought to the pain life gives,
And then think of why anyone truly lives.
Not for the pain and sorrow,
For you could be gone before tomorrow.
Humans look forward to a fleeting moment,
Of peace, happiness, and ecstasy.
People say life is full of trials,
To determine worth for what lay ahead,
Perhaps good feelings are our rewards,
To keep us in the right direction,
And help us to overcome our imperfections.
