What Is It Like?

What Is It Like?

~*~

What is like,

To not breathe a single breath,

or to live alone and helpless?

~*~

I do not know,

For I have lungs that work

and a family I care for.

~*~

What is it like,

To travel back in time,

or to go and see the future?

~*~

I do not know,

For the past is a memory

and the future is a mystery.

~*~

What is it like,

To die and shrink away,

or to live on forever?

~*~

I do not know,

For I do not plan on dying,

but to keep on living.
