For the one who needs a reason to stay alive
I’m not going to write about the ocean or all the stars you’ll miss
Maybe you’re the kind of person who needs to climb every mountain they see
Just to get the sense of accomplishment that comes with it
But I won’t suggest that makes life worth living either
If I’m being honest that’s something I struggle with everyday too
Not to say I’m anywhere near ending things before they were meant
Only that everyday is like walking through mud for the sake of something to do
Yes the trees are beautiful and there is peace to be found there for some people
The night is stunning in all her gentle and soft reflection but the sad truth is it’s not long before the moon really becomes a less impressive sun
If you can find solace in these things all the better but for me that hasn’t been working
I’m still here because I’m stubborn and there are too many things I haven’t done yet that people told me I could never do
There is still more to do and a long list of people I have to make choke on their words before I leave
If you can’t find the beauty be stubborn and make it yourself
