Poem: Why Do You Live?

If we all have to leave,

Then why are we still pulling up our sleeves?

Why do we set the alarm?

When we do not even know if in the morning, we shall see the sun so warm.

Well, because there is hope,

The reason we just do not hang ourselves from the rope,

I keep living because I have a goal,

In this world everyone has a role.

We were not born again just to rest,

This life is actually a test,

Our actions decide whether we get heaven or hell,

Then again, we shall rise from where we fell.
