Question:

Do you find your own meaning in this poem??

Birth gives way and light to death,
death means you were once alive
Alive with people that craved for material things
Alive with people that only looked out for themselves

But it's only in the last moments of your life
The final breaths you take, that you will
remember those people,
and rather be with them
than lying on your deathbed.

When you're living is when you see those people as
they are...
people who you know aren't even going to attend
your funeral,
in reality, people who never cared
Caring wasn't in their system.
Honesty wasn't in their heart.
And right now, you know, that you aren't in their mind.

Even though they are in your thoughts, and your memories,
to them, you are merely a fraction of their
self- absorbed lives.
People who you knew for a few moments
Those who cannot save you from going back to dust.

I am sorry that you have so many self-absorbed people in your life. I hope that you are a giving and caring person so that you do not fall into the same trap.
