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

I really like the reasurring, peaceful imagery brought on by this poem. It's actually really soothing, and the one solid stanza helps further the feeling of continuity.
One negative that caught my eye was the punctuation; if you have punctuation at the end of some lines, it's generally accepted that it should be at the end of all your lines. Also, I really like the idea of repitition for this poem, but I think you might be able to find better words to repeat than "don't." Lovely work though!
This is really thought provoking and I like that! Great job; keep writing!
