Don't be bitter my friend
you’ll regret it soon
hold to your togetherness
or surely you’ll scatter

don’t walk away gloomy
from this garden 
you’ll end up like an owl 
dwelling in old ruins

face the war and
be a warrior like a lion
or you’ll end up like a pet
tucked away in a stable 

once you conquer
your selfish self 
all your darkness 
will change to light.
One of my very favorite poems. It meant a lot to me last year especially, as I was working through significant health issues.
