LIFE poetry contest entry

Listening to what the world is telling, what the bird chirps mean, and where the truth lies in the words of others Inspecting my thoughts and my actions through the day, did I succeed or did I fall short. I will only know when the sun sets Freedom. I am my own person, not tied down by the reputations of others have of me but my reputation for myself. May I walk free upon the earth without an iron fist pounding my mind into believing what they want. Entropy. All things come to an end. Whether it's the embarrassing moments we make everyday, or the fun times we have spending the day with our friends. Even the simple things like eating are temporary. Let us not veiw this as a burden or an upset, but a motivation to be present in our life and spend our last moments in appreciation. Any of them could be our last.

I really like this poem. It makes you think of the things in life that are important. I've been told that if you change one thing in your life everyday, that your life will be so much more rewarding.
