Words On a Page

People look to poetry like a bible
Or a manual to which they live their lives by
And as I've said many times
Life itsn't what what me or you say
Its what you make it
But what some people don't realize is that
Poetry is miss used, and turned into an excuse
An excuse for why life isnt going the way THEY want it
Yet life isn't what I say
Or what you say
Its just how you live it
Because the next day is never promised
Take advantage live everyday as if it were your last
The only limitation on life is
The boundaries you haven't explored
So talk a lot and listen more
Because when it all boils down....
These too are just words on a page
