Life; a poem by me.

(just edited today, and also submitted to sunday @ 6 literary magazine!!!! fingers crossed!)



Life isn't about keeping score,
It's not about your home decor.

Life isn't how many friends you've made
Or how many people you've paid.

It's not about how accepted you are.
It's not about if you've travelled far.

Life isn't about your Friday nights,
Life isn't about your greatest frights

It isn't about who you're dating,
Who you're hating,
When you're mating,
Or how long you're waiting.

It isn't about who you've kissed
Or you're to-do list.

Lift isn't about money,
Or whether or not it's sunny.

It's not about the car you drive
And it's not about a deep sea dive.

Life isn't about where you go to school,
It's not about if you are cool,

Life's not about your beautiful face,
It's not about your family's race,
It's not about if you can trace,
And not about getting first place.

It's not about the clothes you wear,
Or about your perfect hair.

Life's not about the shoes you walk,
It's not about the language you talk.

Life's not about the grades you get,
It's not about the celebrities you've met,
Life isn't about the money you bet,
It's not about your adorable pet.

What life is not was stated above,
But what life is, is purely love.

Life is about who you make smile,
It is about the extra mile.

It's about keeping the people you love close,
It's about giving away your heart the most.

It's about the trust you give and the trust you get,
It's about the love you'll always want to bet.

Life is about family and friends,
It is about never seeing ends.

It's about saying what you mean,
It's about coming clean.

Life is about living your dream,
It's about watching yourself beam.

It's about the peace you make,
It's about the hearts you don't break,
It's about the times you're not fake,
It's about enjoying that juicy steak.

Life is what you make it,
So please never fake it,

Cause Life is the longest thing you'll do,
But you can blink and it'll be through.
So here's my advice on what to do,
Don't forget to say I love you,

Life isn't going to wait for us,
Life is a speeding non-stop bus,

But here's some valuable information,
Life is the journey, not the destination.
