Live, Don't Survive... (Poem)

Memories our only true friends
    People come and go...
Moments, the only real prize
    Everything else, can forego...

Living each moment the need
    As happy or crazy they be...
These maketh who we are
    As painful as they may be...

Happiness our own construct
    Not defined by others, but you...
Sadness, the only honest teacher
    Shows the real and hidden you...

Ignorance not thy friend
    Surviving not the answer...
Feel every emotion as they come
    Only that defines, who you become...
