they say “seize the day”
they say “everything is going to be okay”
but those people have never been in love
those people have never had to die
so i cry
because so many things go unresolved
so many things go unseen
so i hold on to the hope of so many unfinished dreams
the man sitting on the moon says it’s okay to have regrets
the woman who has conquered doom says it’s okay to lose bets
the people who have lived
and tried
failed in the process
the ones without the unfinished dreams say it’s okay
because if you leave this life with so much undone
so many battles that you haven’t won
it is okay
because just around the riverbend
the spot where you thought everything had to end
someone will pick it up
take your dream
and live it all over
again
this is probably my fav poem of my own. i hope this gives y’all comfort and confidence to slow down and stop for a second
