Time wasted or time well spent
What laughable concepts
The only valuable metric is time enjoyed
So love fiercely and deeply
Bring joy and warmth with every step
Look not to compare but to uplift
Bear the light of empathy and compassion
For this world is a struggle enough to explore alone
Let your spirit fly free and let hope inspire
Create and ignite the passion of others
Let no hate latch its claws upon the brightness
And let anger and resentment wash away with the tides
No easy tasks, but the struggle and satisfaction
Are eminently worth it
Let not failure bar your way
It is but a stepping stone on the path of improving
Acknowledge mistakes but take accountability for them
Share what can be spared and let not pride bar reaching for or accepting help.
Break and destroy injustice and inequity
Suffer not tyrants and bring them low
Join hands with those who would do these things
Embrace differences and try new things
Explore and discover, breathe and relax
