do what commands your attention.
be whatever it is that you imagine yourself to be.
let nothing hinder those rights of passage.
direct your compassion outward.
enjoy the moments for what they are.
live every breath at the edge of your seat.
find someone to love.
find someone who loves you just the same.
make that love a monument for others to follow.
take care with what you're doing.
be in the moment.
let all other things rest until they awaken to your attention.
say how much you love the ones you love.
let that love be known.
drown the fear
and let it take its toll.
allow for the good things in life
because no one will do it for you.
when you beat your head against
the wall, remember how fragile
you really are.
hard to swallow the pill.
hard to wash down the medicine.
hard to take what they
give you and place it on your tongue
and follow it up with a glass of water.
hard to wash the chemicals away.
often times,
the disease is much more pleasant
than the remedy. other times,
the illness is quicker than the pill.
we live in an elaborate fantasy
where the sickness is only a
remedy away.
love the ones you love truly
and without hesitation
before the sickness finds you
and forces you swallow the pill
that sours your tongue.
