Life

Life,

What is life as a whole,

Is it from birth to death,

Or is it the problems we face,

Day in and out,

Is life the struggles we perform to stay alive,

When the poorest of poor have no food,

But still manage to stay alive,

Is it when we fight with those around us,

And lose those we love,

Is it when you watch people around you grow old and grey,

Or is life just a bunch of decisions,

Whether it's what to wear,

Or when to die,

Yet life is all these things,

Put together to equal one,

God created the world,

And you created your life…

Somebody

I want someone to tell me I mean the world to them,

That they love me more the words could ever say,

For who I am not who I'm not,

If something happened to me they would be there,

They would comfort me and say it'll be ok,

I just need someone to hold me,

And say I'm the only one they love,

When will that day come,

The day when someone would do this for me,

How happy I would be to find him at my stoop,

Just him that's all I need,

And maybe a single sunflower or a kiss would do that's it,

I don't need him to buy me things,

I'm not like that,

I'm not asking for much,

Just to be loved by someone I love,

Is that too much to ask…
