What is life? (21 questions poem)

They ask "what is life?"
Why are we here today and gone tomorrow?
why does death bring such pain and sorrow?
they ask "what is life?"
is it hard for us to perceive?
why before we die we see everything we lived?
why are you so scared of death?
if you don't die you won't be able to fly
is death really sad?
why do we feel like that when someone dies?
doesn't death feel like a dance?
isn't it quick?
like the glance of someone who loves you when you speak?
when you're not scared of death
 aren't you supposed to be sick?
the sick gets happy when the healthy one dies
why did i sell my soul at 30% off?
like throwing a dice, matter of luck?
talking is like a vice, but why?
does it feel nice?
i'd be scared to live rather than to die.
is that bad?
is that sad?
should I live my life to the fullest?
so if I'd never die it wouldn't feel so bad?
death doesn't feel so sad after all.
does it?
