Life As We Know It

Humans,

We are all humans.

And humans,

Which is what we are.

Tend to become attached,

Attached to things that are daily.

In other words,

Life As We Know It.

And when that thing that happens every day,

Suddenly stops happening.

Life As We Know It,

Quite abruptly,

Ends.

And when Life As We Know It ends,

People find themselves.

They step out of dull routine,

And become spontaneous.

We may be humans,

And humans tend to become attached.

But that shouldn't stop us from the wonders of the world.

Step out of the shackles of the norm,

And live your life.

Or you will regret it,

Many people do because,

They got attached to Life As We Know It.

Things become to robotic...wake up..eat..work..eat..sleep. We do take those other little things inbetween for granted that they will come again... many of us run out of time before we are graced with another opportunity...hence your title. Very witty you are. Life should be fun and exciting... =)

It's got a repeditve quality to it. Which makes it facinating to read as you go throughout it. Makes you think of how repiditive life is every morning you wake up. "They got attached to Life As We Know It." is my favorite line. Everybody knows 'life' as something different. But it's something you're used to, and you don't want to change it. This gives a different perspective of a person that wants to change. Great write (:

For 'thinkers' this makes perfect sense. I think the end lines are inspiring. I like the title and the way you back it up in the poem.

Loved this! And so true!

I loved this. The whole thought of 'chains of the norm' keeping you locked away from being new and unique. Well done.
