Is life a dream?

• Artist: KingBet
• Description: This is officially my first work, and I know because I just spent the last hour typing this. :D
  
  Hopefully after reading this you'll be inspired to live your life to the fullest. So many of the other works here were so depressing, or about love... So I thought I'd talk about life. Tell me what you think? Or just tell me if you were able to smile :) Also don't take my work too seriously, its really just food for thought.

Life to me is like a dream,
something real,
that ends up being fake.

It makes me think.
It makes me wonder.
What is my fate?
When will I go under?

When someone dies,
where do they wake?
Where is their home?
Where was it that they lay?

For so many years,
they were caught up in a dream.
What crazy things did they live for?
What crazy things did they see?

What kind of life did they live?
How many times did they fear,
fear they were going to die?
How many times did they love?
How many times did they cry?

All these things,
are surreal and fake.
Yet if this is the case,
why are we alive?
What does it mean to pray?

Let me give you an answer,
not something to deep,
and not something too frail or weak.

Life is like a test.
It all depends on you.
To study consistently will help,
rather than to weep the day it is due.

So realize your dream,
and enjoy it while you can!
Go outside! Smell the roses!
Be merry! Be glad!

Are you ready?
Was your dream worth the while?
You'll know when you can read this,
and still give me a smile.

Only then will you know,
that this life, this dream, is truly worth your while...

I like your poem, it is thought provoking and that's what makes fantastic poets. Not mushy, flimsy writing, but an art that can be read and pondered on later. Very good. I like it. smile

Don't take your work to seriously? But you have such a serious deep tone to it, it's very hard not to. Your flow changes in the middle with single stanzas making reading it not as flowing as it good be, but one thing..it's very thought provoking indeed. <gives you a smile> And I've loved and cried a lot in my life. You are very talented when it comes to poetry, with just a little ironing out I believe you could publish.

Pretty good> I personally like to think of life as a reality, but the thought of dreaming up questions is something every body can relate to.I especially like the reference to studying for a test so you'll be ready for when you die... interesting.
