There was a popular movie I saw,
In which one man gave his life,
To save the life of another.

Part of me wondered,
What would I
Give my life for?

Is not everyday,
A matter of life or death?
My silent voice replied.

In a failure to fully grasp,
That I will assuredly die,
Forgetting to live is the risk.

Will I remember to live today,
Or will I hide in the fantasy world,
Of worry, regret and self-absorption?

In the maze of things to do,
I give my life,
To create this world around me.

Part of me wonders,
Am I happy with
What I am giving my life for?
