What is life?

(Pt 2 to "What is love?")

Some say life always has good things in store

others say life will never hand such good things out

I know better than to try and tie life down into a single sentence

maybe if you live with the idea of whatever you think life is, then that's what it'll be

or maybe you'll be struck with the reality of somebody else's

but through my experience of 14 years and some change

I think life is just to be alive

and whether you decide you want it to be filled with romance, tragedy, stillness, or nothing at all 

It's at the hands of others as well

and maybe that's all it is

life is you and everyone else in the world.
