To find some reason to love life
In spite of
Being part of a mundane routine
As duty and responsibility call
Each day slips away,
A life unlived.
Living in the moment,
A lesson yet to grasped
Small joys come and go,
Unnoticed,
Lost in the busyness
Of other tasks.
Joy, love, responsibility, life...
What are these
But threads of living
Cling to one, overlook another.
Choosing to embrace one,
Making do,
How much can you live
To find true satisfaction?
It’s a choice you make,
At some point or another:
Live like there's no future,
What do you miss in this endeavor?
Before you realize,
A good part is gone.
So pause,
Take a deep breath.
Feel the freshness seep in,
Come alive once again.
You have but one life,
Your choices shape it.
Will you remain knocked out,
Or spring up and flip over?
