What makes life meaningful?

Understanding another's

pain and suffering–perhaps.
One can only give
what one has

Be it love
or
Be it hate.
Not all rivers
end up in the ocean–
doesn't make their journey
less worthy.

Not all love
ends up in a lover's arms–
doesn't make it any less
worthy.
I always loved blue–
the blue sky
the blue ocean
my little blue pen.
I painted oceans on canvas
in various shades of blue.

But today, I am blue with
every bitter memory I have
of you.
I never understood life.

Well, who cares –

Life never understood me either.
I love you enough
to give you my life –

but not enough
to surrender my freedom.
Loving you

was not my fault –

telling you was.
One petal left—
But the rose doesn’t cry.
On petal left—
Yet the rose still try’s.
One petal left—
But color still radiates.
Hope is what powers,
The rose,  
No matter the fate.
Waking up,
Is your freedom.
Waking up.
Is your heart.
Waking up,
Is your life.
Keep fighting—
No matter what.
Cause your a star.
You left,

but love stayed,

and so did pain.
