(I have posted this poem before also...but i am going through my stuff and i was wondering what people think of it.)

Love is living
Living is love
Who cares about the details?
The pointless cares and troubles
That people are sick of

Breathing is living
Living is breathing
Who cares about the goals of life
The intensity and hardship
That people go through

Everything taken for granted
Are the only things in life
The things that people throw aside
Are worth no amount of money
Only living.

If everyone was gone tomorrow
Would it all be worth it?
The pain and courage inside their souls
That their lives never saw
Would everyone be happy?

Why do people want to care
About the things that are meant to happen?
There is nothing to be done
But forget and move on
Until the next thing happens.

Everything taken for granted
Are the only things in life
The things that people throw aside
Are worth no amount of money
Only living.

I agree with your last reply about the second to last stanza. That made me like this poem even more. Great message, as well...

"The pain and courage inside their souls
That their lives never saw..."

Those two lines right there were...PERFECT! Great work! ~Jess
