Live to love, fight to hug
Be the one…
Live to love, fight to hug
Be the one…
The mystery.
The history.
The utter complexity….being.
They tell you to be or not to be, that is the question
But can they even answer it?
Shrouded in mystery, yet ever insatiable
The way that I look to it confuses me
Puzzles me
Dazzles me
The mystery….
The mystery.
The history.
The utter complexity….being.
Individuality…can this be the key to the complexity?
The quest only results in alienation
The lack of communicable satisfaction
Culture, Culture, Society
Going against individuality
But is this being truly free?
Must you follow in order to be?
Oh, the epitome of individuality
The words that shape definity
Yet ever so frequently lack true clarity
I’m workin’ till 4, 4, 4 in the afternoon.
The depth hits me like a giant monsoon
What am I doing here?
What am I doing here?
What am I doing here?
Is this truly me?
What does it even mean to be?
Must I exist simply, merely?
Or can I be he who stands clearly, sincerely?
The mystery.
The history.
The utter complexity….being.
Nearing twenty years of education
Supposed to love to learn, why?
Take a look into my eyes
Then glance over at what seems to be the prize
Don’t get blinded by the sunrise…
Take a look into my eyes.
For me, to be exists not so precariously
Anything but love is unsatisfactory
I live for you even if you don’t live for me
After all
For me, to be exists not so precariously
Let me be the one who sets you free.
The mystery.
The history.
The utter complexity….being.
Live to love, fight to hug
Be the one…
---This is a poem/song I just wrote and decided to name it Being. Please criticize it and let me know what you think!

I don't know much about poetry, but this seems good. But what exactly do you mean by "Be the one"?
Thanks, man - I have to admit I don't have much of an idea about poetry either and I think because of the repetition it ended up as more lyrical and song-like. As for be the one, I didn't exactly have a defined objective in putting it out there. I kind of wanted the reader (or listener, whatever) to decide for himself what he should be. I guess it could indicate "Be the one [who loves]" or "Be the one [who is, who 'bes'].
