Living for Life

Live not for compromises
Live not for happy endings
Live for sweet nothings.

For life is not complicated
For life is not mundane
Life is a merry song.

“Live not for Battles Won
Live not for The-End-Of-The-Song
Live in the along.”

For life is not to be wasted
For life is not to be tested

Life is to Live.


Live not to survive
Live not to overpower
Live to empower.

For life is not for winnings
For life is not for regrets
Life is a beauty embed.

 Though I was not able to participate for the last 13 days I tried my hand today.

  1. Well done! I love that you integrated it into the middle. It's good you added the quote, I wouldn't have guessed which part was yours and which wasn't.

  2. I like this, that you embedded the quote into the poem instead of just responding to it or putting it in the beginning. It's also a beautiful reminder.
