Your Version
I think we fail to see how similar we all are
Caught in our own world,
like a school of anxious fish
We can swim in circles our whole life;
denying our shared destination
Whether you parade through life
with your head held high;
Or saunter like a scared dog with a tucked tail
We can spend time arguing who roles the dice
for the game of life;
And who pulls the strings to close the curtains
You can pray and pray to a fictious god,
who is unlikely to answer;
Or neglect the whole idea,
and never pick up the phone
Does it matter how we choose to get there?
Half of us won't get the chance to grow old;
But live everyday like the next is promised
We are explicitly fragile;
But wonderfully eager

I have loved writing poetry since I was in elementary school. There is something so beautiful in words that can really speak to people.
