A Wasted Soul

The sun is rising every second of the day somewhere on earth

Bringing a new day

Time is the true force

The weight of its motion is what we call gravity

Too much of it is very dangerous

Live this life well

Enjoy its passage and surrender to it

It asks nothing of you in return

Everything that has ever happened has led you here today

All of it has come to this moment

Then the next

It consumes

Dare to be embarrassed

Bravery leads to greatness

Not only in titles wealth and life’s successes

But in everyday moments

To make memories

To take the step

Prove yourself worthy of this time you take this space you occupy

Without crowds without accolades

Be great

Value this moment

This time in space

Every breath leaves room for remembrance

Do not submit

Release yourself from fear

Of failure

Achievement

Simply Be

Be Human

Revel in the joys of life’s snapshots

Regard momentary madness as the glimpse of reality

Leave no explanation for what you do

Steady down the line

One foot in front of the other

A bite at a time

And all that other bullshit

Jump

Leap

If you’re not the most interesting person in the room

It’s your own fault

Your greatest fear holds you

To be on top of the world

Leave subtlety at the door

Maintain an elegant demeanor

While breaking necks

Transport yourself in time

To now

Be the person you want to be

That is the only necessity

You don’t get to do this again

Everything is on purpose

When you get jammed

When you realize you’re not following your dream

Recognize and reset

Pull it back in

Get back on the path

Your whole life you will have to chase it

Chase the you that you want to be

Otherwise you collapse into the person you hate

Don’t believe that is the real you

It’s not

It’s the you that’s too lazy to be

The you that exists

Wandering aimlessly

Surviving

That’s no life to live

A wasted soul

Burning time

Worthless journey to nowhere
