&quot;you dont have to be what you dont want to be&quot;<br /> -?


The blood,
Flows steadily,
From our veins.

They said,
There’d be,
No pain.

There’s a,
Reason that,
We want to die.

A world,
That speaks,
Each word a lie.

Soon now,
Before too long,
We’ll die.

Leaving the world,
Our families and God,
Forever.

But,
Why?
Is it worth it?

&quot;Life should be viewed from afar and lived from close up.&quot;

The short format is a good form for the poem. Very interesting.
