The Question, by Maria

The question  

I’m thinking, thinking so hard.

Someone just told me,

“This is the only life, so live this life”.

Ok I got it

This is the only life.

My eyes close

Tears roll down

I am wondering,

I wish to ask, humbly.

If this is the life, the only life,

The one and only chance,

How I should lead it? 

How does one live a life ?

I want to scream

Hold people’s collars and

Scream the life out of them

Tell me what it is,

Tell me what is it you call a life?
