What's the point of life?
Why do we live?
Why do we die?
What's our purpose?
What's living life to its fullest?
How do we know if we’re living?
Can it be bought?
Is it sold?
Why do people ruin other people's lives?
Is it for revenge?
Is it for fun?
What's living a good life?
What’s living a bad life?
Is it based on luck?
Is It predetermined?
Can I exchange it?
Life was the main thing that inspired me. My writing process was simple in-the-moment writing, writing what came to mind. I used repetition for this poem. I structured it using a good amount of questions. The theme would have to be that life is always gonna be a mystery with no real answer. Life raises a lot of questions no matter how good or bad your life is.
"I liked the different questions that arose in the poem, sometimes we all seem to question life and the purpose of it, the good and the bad. I think it was very effective and the structure was also interesting as well. The questions made me think about how our existence is something we each just have to explore."
