Life to Dream, Life to Survive

No life is lived easy,

and no trial is ever over.

Why are we who we become?

Why must life

be so difficult?

If life were easy,

who would we become?

Would we be soft, fragile?

No life is lived easy,

and some are hard lived

while others are just difficult.

But life will never be easy.

We are the mold

formed and defined in its hands,

and the world is

what we dream,

what we seek,

and what we will make.


Life to Dream, Life to Survive

Hi Melissa - you have a particular style to much of your poetry which I enjoy. On this occasion you have began by asking questions and attempted to answer some. I would be tempted to seperate the line where you repeat the line 'No life is lived easy' into a seperate stanza, giving the appearance that there is a reflective thought between one notion and the next. Does that make sense? You have a talent with words, that's for sure.

This made me feel a little melancholy, but i'm tired and need some sleep.
Maybe tomorrow it will look different, then i can say, long live life!
Thankyou,Janet.
