Questions

Here is a really thoughtful poem. I hope this sparks your own questions about life. 


When does a falsehood become                                                                                                                  
A lie?
Is it after your words hurt someone

When does alcohol become
Intoxicating?
Is it after you do something stupid

When does a crush become
A lover?
Is it after you realize you can’t breathe without them

When does a story become
A novel?
Is it after the protagonist questions their motives

When does a prodigy become
A genius?
Is it after they accomplish the impossible

When does a sapling become
A tree?
Is it after it survives a harsh winter

When does a death become
A tragedy?
Is it after you are affected

When does a child become
An adult?
Is it after they find themselves

When does a habit become
An addiction?
Is it after you understand it is hurting you

When does someone accomplish their
Destiny?
Is it after they realize they know nothing at all

When does this life truly
End?
Is it after you give up
