Understanding

I realize now that love

Should not be painful

Nor should it be given

To those who do not deserve it

 

I realize now that life

Is short and fast

So I should be happy

With the time and people I have

 

I realize now that I'm

Only a person

But I am so complex

And beautiful and alive

 

I realize now that we

Are all struggling to live

But we are all together

So I'll think we'll be alright

A fine poem, Purplemoon. Yes, life is short and fast, and sadly it never seems to slow down! I like the optimistic conclusion.
