Thoughts for the day: Live long or die young

Living is like lighting a candle
Brightly, it will light up a place
But as soon as a slow breeze starts
The surrounding returns to darkness

The only competition ever
Is to see which candle could maintain
And stay lit till the end
It is the survival of the best

Although it is hard to accept
But even the candles close to one another
Will start shaking
To create that slight breeze

Why oh why?
Candles of life?
Why do you struggle so much?
Why do you give up your dearest?

Leaving behind,
Dying out,
Are those who refuse to
Give up on their closest.

Why?
Why such a fate must befall
One who cares?
Is it just because this fact is cruel?

In the end it is
Just as it is
A life candle's life will be
After all just a candle will always be

Dear candle of life...
Please bring upon yourself the truth
And calm your senses on life
As this will be your way to be the myth

The myth among the others which have forever light...
