Elements of Life


Time

Is only an illusion but relied upon because we need a sense of direction

Path

Is just one of many ways things may come out

Possibilities

Whether it be good or bad, a possibility is a possiblity; take it

Fear

Us, living in fear is the only way that we know

Learn

Living in fear is only until we know, until we learn, what the difference is between fear and adventure

Laugh

We will grown up and see the changes in what we feared only to laugh upon them because of how silly we think they are now

Live

Living is just another way of life

Cry

It is okay to be sad while living this life because this life is yours to live

Decide

Decide what friends you want to keep now because it will only hurt more in the future

Draw

Connect the lines of the conclusion that this life is yours and run by you

Color

It is okay to scribble outside the lines just to know that you are in charge of your own set of direction in society

Love

By loving others, you bring joy, but loving yourself is key

See?

You don't see what I see, I see you for you, you see you for others, but you... are for you and only you

Share

Share your foundest memories with those you cherish

Share those of your memories that you would rather have perished

Die

You will die, therefore there is absolutely no reason for you to make that happen right

For you just might

Miss the chance you were hoping for all night

Fight

Get in fights with friends, family, and death

But you are dying

Not dead

Therefore live

For you are here for a purpose

Whether you see it now or later

I guarentee you are here

To hear what others say

To make peace

To help

To fear

To learn

To laugh

To live

To cry

To draw

To color

To know that your life is not like any other of the 7 billion on this planet

To know that out of the 14 billion eyes

And 14 billion ears

You are one of the only ones who would actually see and hear

What is going on

Not letting it slip out of one ear

But to stay

And be okay

Because the elements may get in your way

But you are stronger
