What's in life?

What’s in life?
If they haven’t seen tears.
The eyes wide open seeking mercy,
Yet firm against the wind.

What’s in life?
If they haven’t stood up for proposal
With folded sleeves and cold feet.
Love scoring a little over fear.

What’s in life?
If they haven’t been robbed
Of all but self-esteem
before perishing to nothingness.

What’s in life?
If they haven’t been decimated to ashes.
Yet rose from the waste,
to rule the world.

What’s in life?
If they haven’t comforted others
With their own feet wounded
When smile fails to dry their moist eyes.

What’s in life?
If they haven’t dreamt with twisted neck
Gazing at those tall skyscrapers
Willing to command the height.

What’s in life?
If they haven’t stood lonely
In the balcony, beneath the stars
With sleepless night being the only friend.

What in life?
If they haven’t cried.
If they haven’t loved.
