Life.

Death should not come easily
It shouldn't be decided
By those who deem better
Than you,
Life should be lived
Freely and unconditionally
Like love,
Sweet and wholesome
The journey of life,
Starts before you're born
And the destination of life
Doesn't end at death,
It goes on forever
And forever it will go on,
Believe it or don't
Want it or don't
But please, I beg,
See and smile
Because life is slowly stopping,
At least just for a while
