Short Story/Essay: I Am Life

I Am Life

I am life, concealed in the soul that owns me. No
one notices how easily I can be
removed. I live inside souls that are happy and some
depressed. Some of the depressed
souls want me out. They don't know that when I am about to
leave them they will
desperately want me back and will do anything to make me
stay in them for the longest
time possible.
I am life. Some souls love having me around. They
fill me with delight and make
me want to sing and dance. They use me to my full extent
and love being able to live.
They are happy and are having a great time with me.
Sometimes these kinds of people
forget that I am fragile. They forget I can be stolen from
them at any moment.
For I am life and I have no control over when I
leave. I wish I had though. All the
cheerful could live until they were old and weak and have a
great time with me. I would
leave them when they were old and let them experience their
happiest moments. I could
make the downcast happy and enjoy me. If I were in charge,
I would fill everyone with
satisfaction and content.
I am life. Barely anyone knows how valuable I am
until I'm almost gone. Then they
want me back and they beg to live their life, which is I.
They cry and plead that they dearly
want me to be within them, but I have no power. I am only
in the soul. I am the thing that
makes the heart pump, the brain work, and the lungs
breathe. I am life.
I am life. I can be taken away from one person faster than
the human eye can blink or stay
in one person over a long amount of time. Some people take
me for granted and abuse me.
Some people love having me around and fill me with pride.
These people are also very
cautious with me.
I am life, and I am within every living soul. All
the deceased used to have me
within them, too, but I had to leave them in one way or
another. I am still in the living
though. If you sit quietly enough, you can feel me around
in everyone. I am on every side,
I am in every soul, I am greater than any living,
nonliving, or object in this world.
I am life. Don't take me for granted. You never know when I
might be pulled out of you.
Do whatever you want with me, but make yourself proud. When
I leave, everyone will
remember what you did with me. Use me as a great thing, to
my full extent, and fill me
with joy. For I am life.
