What is Life?

entry picture

Is it to wake up every single day,
Jostle to make your place,
make your own identity,
leave a mark your own,
in this world?
The world of possessions;
The world of judgments.
Or standing up to everyone's expectations,
Running in a never-ending race,
with cutthroat competition,
and not living and being who you truly are?
