Prompt: How do you perceive the meaning of life?

Dedicated to those whose dreams have shattered but they have goals to accomplish.

To live is like;

Feeling lost
in the turbulent waves
of fake beauties,
and luxuriant
necessities.

A myriad of emotions
and yet as
stone.
Pretty flowers ahead
and yet praising
gold...

Uneven trails
can't be walked.
Because there now are
Perfect paved roads.

Ropes around my dreams.
Forever being tied...
To live is like
Lost in a beautiful lie.
