Don’t love poetry Because you’re on a hot writing streak; Love poetry because you love poetry And poetry loves you back In all obstacles, times of staring into space, And inspirational thoughts and ideas. Love poetry because of the partnership Between you, the author, and poetry, the bioluminescence Of the literate ocean.
Don’t love life Because you think you’re living the best one. All lives are unique; How troublesome it is To consume time in chasing what only others Can see and do accordingly. Outside of being instructed, Work, any kind of daily routine, Create your own steps Not by “hitting it big-time” But humbly walking where you are And embrace the sights right where you are Because even the tiptoes of a journey Lead you forward and allow you time, Not for all views, but at least seeing one ordinary view As glitzier than glitz itself.
Don’t love anything If the reason you do is to impress anyone or everyone. When you do what you do, The truth will strain the ones who scoff But leave you with the one(s) who see your heart In what you do. Live. Be open. Respond. Love. Stand your ground. You’ll be surprised what or who comes around.
Trust me, written for me to learn from just as much!
