Life

This is one more of my old poems, while I still am plagued by lack of time

Life
You can be surrounded by friends, yet be all alone,
You could have won the greatest prize, yet lost it all,
You could be the happiest person in the world, yet find no reason to smile,
You could have known a person a lifetime, yet find a stranger in front of you everyday.

You could have seen all the world has to offer, yet not seen anything at all,
You could be the richest guy alive, yet poorer than the beggar on the street,
You could be the most powerful & influential person, yet be the most helpless.

Life is not about what you choose, but what you do with what has been given to you,
It’s about leaving your past behind and think about the present, yet not drift into the future,
It’s not just about pondering over who you are, it’s about putting those thoughts into action,
Because you are unchangeable, irreplaceable, and so are those around you,
Because where there is good, there is evil, and it’s not in your power to root out all of it,
But what is, is to overcome it & look at the bright side of life,
Because you have but one life, so put it to good use, and relax and leave the rest to life.
