Life.....Priceless

by Marlena - Cancer

We live We die.
That's the facts of life.
We love to feel love,
but the feeling of rejection over powers us 
with hate.
We laugh We cry,
To hide our true feelings inside, 
When our tears have run dry.
We work so hard to make a go at this 
thing called life,

But in the real world you either have it or you don't,
That's what they say when you don't measure up to
their expectations.
Being judged by the color of your skin, by the class of your social economics, or the religious belief one has,
Should never be determined by any other individual, but 
the creator above.
For he knows what lies inside your heart.

Life is full of hopes and dreams that all become 
destoryed by small minded individuals who all think
they know more than you and me simply because they 
have a few dollars and cents. 
Their social status powers them to choose who 
they want in their group.
While we all see there is a bigger picture that 
needs to be addressed.

Live your life in full control.
Don't let anyone rob you of your will to live,
the life you've been given.
How great it is to know and feel that our 
life is of more value than one can hold.
                  
We choose life when we know that there is more
for us to explore to uncover the roads unknown.
Then there is death for the weak and heartless.
The ones who have given up on life.
For them there is no turning back.
The help they need, they do not seek.
Life for them is just a wasteland of hopelessness, not
being able to tell reality from fiction.
Just living on the edge, until there is nothing there 
to hold them up.
Life is Priceless, don't let anyone else say it different.
    

Reason for writing:

    For anyone who has trouble with dealing with the trials and tribulations of their life.  I know that life can be hard sometimes and when you need some comfort and some hope, but come to find that there is no one there to hold your hand and lend you a shoulder to cry you just want to give up.  BUT PLEASE DON'T! Hold on to your life.  Just try.  Get the help you need to make it better. I CARE, I REALLY CARE!!! EMAIL ME. A friend I'll be.  Life is Priceless. ALL of our Lives.
