As I twist and turn, writhe in agony from the impossibility that life will never be as I know it to be, I have a sudden epiphany:

We're supposed to learn that life gives and takes what and when it wants. It doesnt leave room for cant's or travel the routes paved with self doubts.  We're supposed to just breath it in, inhale it, flow with the waters and sway with the wind, fly as soft as the butterfly with the purpose of the dragonfly.

We're not supposed to ask too many questions or regret anything our voices failed to mention.  This life it's short lived and hard lived, you're only supposed to take as much as you give.  Be aware but not despair, its an ongoing game of survival, only the strong survive, FUCK THAT, you're only as strong as long as you strive to exercise your mind!!

In the end, our futile attempts at being fearless just leaves us defenseless when responsibility rears its ugly head, leaving us as motionless as the undead.
So much of our future is visualized, the present is compromised while the path is revitalized.
A lack of faith is wasted wisdom for there is no divinity in worrying about what has yet to come.  The future is already written, our job is to live it, possess the excitement in the unknown, that's how we know we've grown.

There's no shame in being young, being brash, making rash decisions, that's the essence of being!!  We all make mistakes, but be grateful you have a choice to make.  Whatever you decide to do, belive in the motivation that pushed you through, don't forget confidence too.

No matter what, whether right or wrong, someone will always judge us, berate us, but we should use that judgement as tools to motivate us.
The only guarantee in life is that young ones grow, old ones go and everything in between is just a live improv show

In the midst of unfaltering determination, I stumbled upon a moment of self realization: Life will pass me by if I keep halting my rise to wonder why everything or nothing happens to me, so I grew to accept whatever obstacles blocked my way, kept on going day by day so the reaper would not be able to handle the weight of my impressive resume!!

There are a lot of lessons in this poem...the importance of seizing and living in the moment, not judging a book by it's cover, overcoming your own self-imposed challenges to meet your potential. I think a big lesson is that no matter what, there is fear. It's how you deal with the fear that defines you. Hopefully we will all learn our life lessons and rise up in the pursuit of our greater self! Great piece with great impact.

Wonderfully constructed, right to the point! Life it is what it is and then we get to play with it making things just a bit more enjoyable. I did hear some happiness at finding peace in letting go, now, run with it and paint the skies until you find yourself momentarily pinned beneath the weight of real world, then, waste no time getting back on the scaffold. I truly enjoyed this.

Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.

Plato (BC 427-BC 347) Greek philosopher.
