What They Call It

September 9, 2008

They smile and call it
Happiness
They embrace and call it
Love
They open their eyes and call it
Waking
They cry and call it
Grief
They fall and call it
Pain
They shout and call it
Rage
They’re alone and call it
Loneliness
Their hearts beat and they call it
Life
So what then, when they feel real
Happiness,
Love,
Waking,
Grief,
Pain,
Rage,
And loneliness.
What will they call it when they’ve really lived?
