~ LIFE ~ ISN'T

Contributed by AnGeL_M on Saturday, 5th June 2004 @ 08:35:37 PM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems



About keeping score.
It's not about how many friends you have Or
how accepted you are.
Not about if you have plans this weekend or
if you're alone.

It isn't about who you're dating,
Who you used to date,
how many people you've dated,
or if you haven't been with anyone at all.

It isn't about who your family is or
how much money they have,
Or what kind of car you drive.

It's not about how beautiful or ugly you are.
Or what clothes you wear, what shoes you have,
Or what kind of music you listen to.

It's not about if your hair is blonde, red, black, or brown,
Or if your skin is too light or too dark.
Not about what grades you get how smart you are,
how smart everybody else thinks you are, or how smart
standardized tests say you are.

It's not about what clubs you're in or
how good you are at "your" sport.
It's not about representing your whole being on a piece of
paper and seeing who will "accept the written you."

~ LIFE ~ IS ~



About who you love and who you hurt.
It's about who you make happy or unhappy purposefully.
It's about keeping or betraying trust.
It's about friendship, used as a sanctity or a weapon.
It's about what you say and mean,
Maybe hurtful, maybe heartening.

It's about what judgments you pass and why.
And who your judgments are spread to.
It's about who you've ignored with full control and intention.
It's about jealousy, fear, ignorance, and revenge.
It's about carrying inner hate and love,
Letting it grow and spreading it.

But most of all, it's about using your life to touch or poison
other people's hearts in such a way that could have
never occurred alone.
Only you choose the way those hearts are affected,
and those choices are what life's all about.
