Life

I was born.

I have lived.

And one day,

not too far away,

I shall die.

This is the bare bones

of my existence.

Yes,

I have been places,

seen things,

even had a family.

I have done things.

Some I’m proud of,

and some that make me blush.

And all this

has made me what I am.

Warts and all.

But in brief,

I was born.

I have lived.

And one day,

not too far away,

I shall die.
