Being
Being young and living is a lifelong goal for some,
But dying before living is a tragedy when young.
Being rich and giving can fill you full of wealth,
But being poor and getting may bring you better health.
Being free from bondage can make your spirit soar,
But being free of spirit is poison to the core.
Being nice and pleasant will make you feel contentment,
But being nice and bitter will fill you with resentment.
Being here and present will make you feel alive,
But being rushed and worried will make you feel deprived.
Being old and dying will keep you feeling grave,
But being old and living is a challenge for the brave.

This is fantastic! LOVE it! Hence, another addition to my reading list:)
I would only suggest that you read it aloud and enter a comma where YOU would pause in a line.
Brilliant!

I enjoy pieces that make me see what is being poured out. Great job. You fit right it round these parts, yes you do. <3
