Experience Life


Break through your melancholy shell

And witness the world for all that it is.

Stop isolating your happiness.

Find solace in the warmth of strangers.

 

Look up and see the life and the love,

Flooding these streets with innocence.

Awaken a piece of your soul.

Ignite the fire that lies dormant inside. 

           

Don’t ignore the pain and the sorrow, the suffering,

But don’t let such concerns control you.

Be aware but don’t be consumed.

The world is filled with glorious wonders.
