Slow it down.
Rushing from place to place, a whirlwind of motion
Energy wasted on meaningless tasks
And for what?
Slow it down.
Stop sometimes to appreciate the beauty
Found in all things present
See the lake, frozen now
Covered in snow, a pure canvas
Hear the children playing
Laughing, joking, bickering
Where did it all go wrong?
When was it decided that to be an adult
One must constantly work
Stress driving everyone crazy
From the moment you walk through those high school doors
Til the day you die, fading into nothing
Always in a hurry
Rushing towards your death
And for what?
Slow it down.
Life is a celebration
So scream joy from the roofs
Find peace in old books
And never let your happiness perish
