Living.

Mar 19

I’ve heard for some time now

I could do so much better

Oh, I’ve heard,

since I died that one time,

I’m capable of so much more

Until progress starts showing

Then I’m re-oriented to fear

After 16+ years, I started doing anything

Outside of imagining what living would be like,

As if it was a destination that I’d someday arrive,

Now that I have, I’ve heard that I’m not doing it right

Setting myself up for tragedy later in life..

Little do they know, the trajectory of life is inevitably tragic..

All my life, I’ve considered death my core motivation,

Especially the fear of being disappointed in the end

I coped by hiding and rushing through living

Hoping I’d find all the answers and I’d be satisfied,

But, Every day is a lifetime

And I’m grateful for what I have and what I’ve done

Because I have lived more in just three years

Then I have in all of my living combined.

Don’t be afraid of experiencing life.

The end is inevitable

It doesn’t have to be feared.

The purpose of life is living,

Practice until you die.
