When you live
                       You live
When you die
                              You die
When you are happy
        You are happy
When you are sad
                               You are sad

There shouldn’t be an obligation to be anything to anyone other than yourself

Because they also will
Live
     Die
          Be happy
                   Be sad

And you may choose to share in those good times and those struggles.
And that is beautiful
And rare

But your life is yours
Yours only
Be kind to yourself
Because
Few will be

Give yourself time and peace and understanding

When you live
              Live it up until you collapse
When you die
   Everything after this point is not worth seeing
And everything up until was
When you are happy
               Sing and jump and dance and smile
When you are sad
            Cry and curse the sky

Whatever you are today
Be everything of it
