A Letter To the Hopeless: Here Is the Essence of Living
Sometimes, I feel to me
life is such a strange sphere
It could be cruel, hard and tight,
what a place we’re left to strive
To fight for every bit of what we love to own
However tough we fight, we still cannot have it all
We all wanna LIVE, we all wanna BE
We seek a means to an end, We try to be the best
But wait! Leave all the stressing
What am I really addressing?
Life might be a place where you’re loved today, and hated tomorrow
But with all its downsides, I’ll say life’s still worth it
It’s interesting, sweet and full of awe
You only need to know how it’s better LIVED
I feel this deep woe within me,
when I see souls being derailed
Lives that are meant to birth greatness being in despair
You can own back your life!
Do not merely exist or be a failure
Forget about what brought you where you are
Just rise! And fight on!
This battle is worth it! Get up!! and get your life!!
Even though life’s cruel, somewhat distasteful and above all complex,
Never mind darling, there’s still a room for you. I mean you, yes you!
You’re beautiful inside and out, you’re a wonderful work of creation
There’s more you can do than you think
Search your soul so profoundly, you’ve got something powerful on the inside
Deposited in you by your maker
It is called “POTENTIAL”, which He gave to you to LIVE a PURPOSE
There’s a reason you’re here, to discharge your true essence
He knew you were gonna encounter trials
And so he already endowed with all you need to make it through
You’ve got the power if you BELIEVE
Do the very best you can
Cos no matter what your view of life might be
You were never made to last forever
Give it your all and you won’t regret you did
So that when all is said and done,
It’ll be said of you, that while you were here
You left an imprint
Let your legacy RULE
Even when you’re gone, you’ll be remembered for it
Dead men rule the world, cos their ideas never DIE
Get on with your life, As I firmly affirm,
Purpose is the ESSENCE of LIFE.
