Life is the longest thing you'll do

I do not know why

people say,

"Live life to the fullest,

every single day",

Even though

We all know,

It's going to end,

In a tragic way.

 

I do not know why people say,

"Life is to short,

so follow your heart,

and dream your dreams",

When people know that one day,

Our heart will be sunken into the ground,

withering with infested worms,

and that dreams will not always be achieved.

 

So I say,

"Live life the best you can,

because you will not be here forever.

Live life the way you want,

It's the longest thing you do.

And if it is cut short,

then thanks the gods you were even put on this earth,

because we will remember you,

even when we don't want to."

 

Live life the way you thought it should be,

And kiss the earth for letting you here.

Because someday,

you will become part of it.

Some minor errors. "Life is (too) short" and "then (thank) the gods you were..." This is such a beautiful and thoughtful piece. I hope those errors will be corrected to make this all the more wonderful. I totally love your positive perspective. It's uniquely yours and simply inspiring.

Keep Writing. ^___^

Tragic, but optimistic at the end. I really like this. Everyone seems to be in a bad situation at the moment...way to hang a light at the end of the tunnel.

"Life is to short" --'to' should be 'too'
"withering with infested worms" --'withering', I think, should be 'whithering' (or it doesn't matter)
"and that dreams will not always be acheived" --'acheived' should be 'achieved'
"then thanks the gods were even put on this earth" --'then thank the gods you were [or] we're put on this Earth'
