Existence


as you are now

you have lived

a life

some may wish to have

close your eyes

notice how your 

heartbeat feels

how your

breathing feels

how all of your body systems 

act together

to form this 

beautiful human

that is you

you are important

you have cells depending on 

you

and you are the most important thing to those cells

you are existing 

in the crazy world

you can do so much more than you give yourself credit for

you are a miracle 

and you make someone

somewhere 

happy

and you are

existing
