Poems for the Brokenhearted

#25: What It Means To Be Alive

I am not alive,

Although I may appear so.

Because what is life

If you're not truly living?

I am not alive,

Although I may appear so.

I am not happy,

Although my face is smiling.

Because what is life

If you're not truly living?

What is a smile

If you don't truly mean it?

I am not alive,

Although I may appear so.

I am not happy,

Although my face is smiling.

I am not aging,

Although time keeps moving.

Because what is life

If you're not truly living?

What is a smile

If you don't truly mean it?

What is time

If you do nothing with it?

What is life if you're not truly living?

A/N I'm thinking I might read this at poetry club tomorrow. Peyton, if you see this, tell me what you think.
