What's the best thing to forever
When there's nothing left?
What's the point of living
When you have nothing to live for?
Where does life go
When your living a lie?
What happens
When you die?
Where's the laughter
When there's tears?
Where's the heartfelt
When we're living in times of heartbreak?
When is the lie that people are living going to end?
This world isn't perfect,
It's as imperfect as we.

AMEN! TESTIFY! All I can say is that this captivates what life really is in a concise and unfortunately heart-breaking manner.

&quot;I would rather hated million times for what i did then loved a million times for what i didn&#039;t do.&quot; - Daniel Moto<br /> &quot; I&#039;ve sought out to be the best i could posibly be but when i hit a roadblock in life what did i do, i had two choices either stay at the roadblock or i take this roadblock and make of it and go around it and achieve my goal. So, what will it be?&quot;- Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &quot;People take love like its a four letter word or just a phrase that you tell people or your friends all the time. But in reality love is much bigger than a merely phrase or 4 letter word. Instead love is a genuine promise or covenant to that special person.&quot;-Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;Why change yourself when you were made perfect and wonderfully by the creator of everything?&rdquo; &ndash; Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;If live is not hurtin then were really not living in.&rdquo; &ndash; B.

That was an awesome poem. Great message and great format. I really liked your end. When you said we are imperfect as we. Great line. Suggestion: maybe add some imagery.
