What is life?

What is life
but an impossible race against time,
with our hopes as pacesetters,
and our dreams to cling on to
when our souls become weary,
burdened by the ever-increasing despair
of a seemingly non-existent finish line?

What is life
but a question
with many answers and no answer;
a question that digs deep into our souls,
creating a void so salient
that many try filling with:
family and friends,
careers and vocations,
religion?

What is life
but a poem with no rhyme,
formless but sincere,
questioning its existence,
moving beyond black and white,
finding comfort in the grey?
