Why is life worth living?
It's so much easier to fade away
For the blades of reality cut us
Leaving childhood dreams astray
Why is life worth living?
When closing your eyes forever eases the pain
Nobody to hurt us and
no risk of walking on the wrong lane
Why is life worth living?
To be gone is to be free
To surrender to all things sufferable
To block out reality
There are many who give up
as they hang, jump and fade
But what they don't know is that
wounds don't heal that way
You see, life
Life is worthwhile
No one really knows anything about it
Except it's a journey where you laugh and cry and smile
I know at times it feels useless
To endure this thing called life
In any moment it could be gone
with one step towards a knife
We live for seconds and hours
and weeks and days
Just all for it to be taken
All to be grabbed away
So why is life worthwhile?
It'll all be gone anyways
So why suffer to walk the extra mile?
In this world there is so much the bear
Especially in times like these
Where the blood doesn't stop spilling
Where people are left out to freeze
It all is very frustrating
When it is everyday you cry
Where you eyes are swollen and your nose is red
and your lips are ready to lie
When someone asks you if "you're okay"
and you keep the truth from escaping
in order to let them know you're sane
All we do is get hurt in this life
All we do is feel pain
But you see that is why it is worthwhile
That extra hike, jog or walk on that extra mile..
Sometimes what we go through, it all seems surreal
But listen closely, when I say we live life in order to FEEL
To endure the pain, struggle, and anger
To remember the love, laughter and smiles
Life is a difficult game
but I promise it will be worthwhile

I would like to translate this poem
You have a very realistic and strange way of making one feel that life is worthwhile. However, the poem is extremely well written. I found that I could not stop reading it even though a moments I wanted to. I think your future poetry will certainly be Worth Reading. SF
