Life

If I’d known life was going to be this way, I would have asked never to be born.

If I’d known the torment and pain that come from living, I would have asked never to be born.

If I’d known how much ache and suffering I’d witness, I would have asked never to be born.

If I’d known how people spend their lives in a monotonous routine, I would have asked never to be born.

If I’d known how much I’d have to struggle, I would have asked never to be born.

If I’d known the obstacles that scramble one’s way, I would have asked never to be born.

But now that I know the little joys that come from living, I say “I’m glad I was born.”
