Welcome to Gaia! ::

What is life anyway?
A series of events we string together and hope it means something?
Does it mean anything or do we humans just hope that it does?
Think about the most important thing you can think of and then about the vastness of the universe.
We are less than a speck of dust.
Yet still we strive and will continue, for not to would be to perish.
The universe wouldn't notice.
Only those of us that keep track would notice and someday we too will be gone.
The only moment that ever has and ever will exist is now.
And yet this is the moment that we rarely live in.
We've learned to venture into the past and future to insure our survival,
But when we stay there we miss so much of the only moment we really have.
Now.

I’m not sure what category this is. xd
I’ve been told there’s really only one good line in this and I’m inclined to agree, but for some reason I wanted to post it in its entirety. The way it came out of my head.

I like the last 4 (5?) lines. The rest of it I'm inclined to disagree with. razz That's just my personal opinion, not a commentary on your work.

I think if you took all the stuff above the last 4 (5?) lines and condensed it, it would be pretty cool. You could also write it in scripty font and put it on a picture of a nebula for added UMPH! ^_^ Just my two cents.

I used to use strange, depressing, and even dark poetry to help lift my moods in middle/high school. I thought it was a healthy way to manage my emotions...then a teacher saw what I was writing and reported me to a counselor. sweatdrop

I think you have the heart of a real poet. Keep writing and refining! ^_^
