Appreciate your life and every moment in it
define yourself daily and remove all the limits
of your preconceived notions, the hypes of the world
release your own talents then give them a swirl
of color, of texture, of taste and of sound
from times that you've lived with no one around
drive past the depths of the ridiculous and rad
forsaking the labels of the good or the bad
for the moment could be extremely unpleasant
then bring you to a moment of grandeur in a present
moment of time you could not foresee
a moment in life where you find yourself freed
from time wrapped packages of all that you knew
a liberating cycle of review and renew
set your sights forward the past is not there
live in the now and treat yourself fair
grow in the knowledge you wish to obtain
deliver yourself to a life where the gains
are more than the dollar signs flashed in your face
a way of living that brings you to the place
of a life well lived, not shunned or ignored
it's there if you will, just open the door.
