Life Is Precious

13LaurenD

In the past few months I have learned a lot,

One of the main things being that the most valuable things in life are those that can not be bought.

Life is an interesting journey, with a lot of ups and downs,

And I have finally noticed how important it is to keep fighting when you feel like you can not go another round.

Even though there are many days when it seems like everything is crashing down and your world is ending,

You can not give up, because there may be something better pending.

It may not seem like it, but every experience that we have is something amazing that we need to be grateful for,

And that is why it is so important to keep going when you feel as if you can not take it anymore.

While our problems may seem like the end of the world, there are some people who would love to have the problems that we possess,

Because when you talk with people who are going through a hard time, it makes your problems seem to be so much less.

When there are people who are fighting for their lives, how can I complain about the stupid stuff that I am going through?

When there are some people giving it their best shot, but they realize that there is nothing else for them to do?

Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, there are some things that are just not under your control,

And realizing this can tear you apart inside, and eat away at your heart and soul.

Sometimes you try your best, but you don't succeed,

And your demons suddenly take over, and they end up taking the lead.

But you know deep down you have to keep fighting, because there are some people who would love to be where you are,

And you realize that you can't quit now, because you have already come this far.

If you were to give up now, what was the point of holding on for so long in the first place?

Because you can't walk away now, when you are this close to finishing the race.

And when it comes to life, it is full of pain, suffering, and sometimes even regret,

And everything that you have accomplished has been worth all of the blood, tears, and sweat.

It can be hard to remind yourself that getting to feel that pain is a blessing in disguise,

And that you still have so much that you want to accomplish before you die.

Being ripped into being alive means that you are alive to feel that pain,

And you know that you will never be able to experience the rainbow without a little bit of rain.

And everyday that you are here on this earth truly means that you are blessed,

Even when it seems like everything is falling apart and your life is a mess.

    Sometimes someone else's difficulties will certainly awaken us to an awareness of our blessings. The poem shows a generous concern for the misfortunes of others. ,Something we need to be reminded of frequently to offer our help and our empathy.

      Thank you so much! I completely agree with you that sometimes seeing what other people go through make us become more appreciative of our own lives.
