What does it mean to be alive?

Just to suffer under the weight of a universe designed to crush you

Does this defeat the purpose of living? 

Perhaps it does.

Well to put it another way.

What does it matter to be madly in love with someone

But constantly fantasize about dying

Is that what life is?

Two sides of life

A flip of a coin deciding

Your fate on the low end of high

Or the high end of low
