It seems to me that we get
so caught up in the here
and now
that we never truly appreciate
the here or
the now.
The mundane consumes
all souls
with startling regularity
children of the blessed weekend
where all they did was
sit around and watch
Football.
Eating their greasy cheese-
puffs, not knowing
that there is a thing called
real life.
Don't be like those thirteen year-old boys
stuck at the roller rink
for another hour
just waiting, just waiting
You should ask that girl to skate
If she says no, it's no
and another hour of arcade games
and if yes, then you have
another hour to live, another
hour to get sweaty and skate
My advice to all those
flailing hearts is to just
take a chance with this
obscene reality we call
life
and just go for it
if you fail, you fail
if you succede, hell yes
but never give up
without trying.
Make life what it is,
not what it isn't
and just LIVE.
Living is the true goal here
it is the apex, the climax
of life. You make every day
your last day,
and when your last day
finally comes,
you've already gone through
the motions, and you have
no regrets.
Because you lived.
Because you lived.
