Why we live.

Why

Breath in our lungs when we wake.
We move about our lives
But no one knows why

The life around us the opposite of our own
No one is ever the same
But no one knows why

We fall, get up, but fall again
It seems we can never win
But no one knows why

We see the beauty around us
We see the loved ones who love us
We are alive and I don't care why.
