The instructor said,

"Go home and writ

a page tonight.

And let that page come out of you-

Then, it will be true." 

What determents that one is living?  

[ Is it them breathing or interacting with others?] 

[I sleep, eat, work, move, and socialize.] 

I see the sun at day, the moon and stars at night  

I cry when I'm sad, laugh when happy, and frown when angry.  

I have a functioning heart of 34,560 beats per day- but does that  

 classifies me as alive?  

When my mind is shared, I feel lively  

When I am mourning, I feel dead  

When I am depress, my world is broken 

Yet i see light and darkness ocurr around me. 

The clock tick-tock-tick-tock as time goes by.

A day has gone by, a new one has come.

Again, and again, and again-

as the world and time moves and wait for no man.

People go and come back  

repeating the cycle known as life.  

I may sleep, eat, work, move, and socialize

I may see the sun at day, the moon and stars

at night- and have a functioning heart 34, 560 beats per day  

but I feel more dead than alive  

[-Since I am all alone in this world.]
