Life Should Be Simple
If you let go of your thoughts,
Forget reality - even for just a brief second -
You will realise that there was
nothing to begin with
and still,
nothing to this day.
Great paragons of knowledge
Left unacknowledged, become ordinary.
As for dreams and ambition -
their remnants shall wither away with the tides of time.
To shop or enjoy the view?
To accompany friends or relax by yourself?
To live like you're going to die or bow with caution to the wind?
Nothing, really, is of great importance.
The sky is a beautiful blue, the grass is a luscious green.
Since you are alive, you might as well make the most of it.
Growing from hardship and living in happiness.
Regardless of the alternatives, singing with passion.
Of course, this is just an opinion.
You can disagree,
The world can disagree,
and...
I don't care.
