#LIFE

Life to me stands for living in fear everyday

I’m just a college student but I realize that life has a lot in store for me

Every day I wonder where I’m going, where I’ll end up, and how I’ll get there

Do you ever feel the same way?

Life is a continuous journey on a dark road

I can’t see where I’m going nor do I know where I’ll end up

The intermittent light keeps me traveling without turning back

Although I have a plan for my life, nothing is guaranteed

So far my goal has stayed the same but my journey to get there is different

Reality sits in as I see the person on the corner or the young adult killed in a car wreck

Again, nothing is promised and tomorrow may never come

Living life to the fullest and appreciating everything is a dream

But how does that dream become a priority?

Scared that the bills may not get paid or the enjoyment out of life may never come

Doing the right thing and achieving in everything possible, does it always pay off?

So many unanswered questions through this journey called life

Life stands for living in fear everyday
