PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I know we're supposed to live every day like it's our last, like that very night we'll take our last breath, but how am I supposed to do that when I'm stuck wishing I could undo the past, like pulling a rabbit out of a hat or a healed arm out of a cast, I could just go back, kick myself and say, "don't do that" but I can't, how am I supposed to live every day like it's my last when much like the arm before the cast, I'm broken, so many words I should have said, so many thoughts I left inside my head instead, but like the great Shane Koyczan said, "when something is broken, make art with the pieces." So listen to me now as I say these words. Don't ever think what you have to say is dumb we are ALL speakers of the words of our heart, and what our heart says, what our heart says is right. There will be nights when all that is going through your head is her shy smile and how you wish you could hold her hand but you just lay there instead. Do me a favor, don't let it sit tell her because when the last day comes your biggest regrets will be the words you never said, trust me.

I know we're supposed to live  every day like it's our last but how can I do that when I've got so much life to catch, so much beauty to see, so many things I could be, or not. Death, death is scary, the very thought rots at our minds all our lives so why live every day like its your last when that means you'll be living in fear, fear that everything you hold dear is going to be ripped away before you see it blossom life will be just a thought So don't live every day like it's your last no, instead, live every day like its the best, make one day better than the rest and that next day, do the same thing, instead of living every day like its your last, live every day with your heart on your sleeve because some days will hurt, some will burn but you've got to take that pain and turn it into whatever you need to turn it into to be able to walk with a smile on your face.

I know we're supposed to live every day like its our last but, that's stupid
