there are three main things
to remember about life.
we live.
we fall.
we move on.
we live.
you breathe in and out,
allowing yourself for momentary peace.
you place one foot in front of the other,
having complete faith in yourself.
you dance to your favorite song,
tonight you are free and you have wings.
you laugh until your stomach hurts,
your smile looks so beautiful on you.
you feel the gentle breeze,
you are one with nature
-- just as powerful, strong, and just as kind.
you are just so luminous,
you shine hope and light onto the world.
we fall.
every breath you take,
it feels like daggers in your throat.
every word you hear,
it feels like you're dying by a thousand cuts.
every hit you take,
it reminds you of the mistakes that you are.
every shout you take,
it makes you wish that you could fly.
every failure you receive,
it reminds you of the dark,
how you are the dark.
we move on.
tomorrow is a new day.
the day after that is a new day.
hell, the next hour is a new hour,
the next minute is a new minute,
you are not who you were a second ago.
make that your advantage.
force yourself to move on.
it is time to let go or to hold on.
you are not bounded to the concrete.
you are restless, alive, and
it is your time to move on.
what's done is done.
you can't change the past.
but you can change the future.
so today, tomorrow, one day,
you will soar again.
