Some of us look backwards too much,
regrets creeping through veins like cancer,
killing you slowly.

You take too much time to disorganise
all the hard work put into being happy,
for what? So you can hurt?

Look back, yes, look forward, yes,
but don’t live in those moments,
here is where you are.

Be thankful you can see what you see,
that you can think what you think,
you are extraordinary.

We have all lost those we have loved,
thought it was something more than it was.
All we did was dance.

But that is the beauty of memories,
that is the crux of mistakes,
you learn to be you.

Never settle for things you want,
they are demons that are never exorcised.
Go for what you need.

You and I, we are beautiful creatures,
sailing together on a common ocean.
Let’s find a safe port.

There’s no point fixating on the negatives,
make notes, cast them aside, and live again.
You are mortal. Live.
