Don't Write Poetry


Live poetically.

Don’t speak—words are for liars.

Just live your truth.

Be your you.

 

Live uncompromisingly.

Don’t apologize—not if you meant it—and

Mean it.

Don’t dream it.

Dreams don’t come true.

Decisions do.

Be you.

 

Live intentionally.

Be alive on purpose,

Not just alive on the surface.

Move with a reason.

Be ripe.

Be in season.

And don’t just get picked.

Be wicked.

Be sick.

Be you.
