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.
