Live Deep


Wait,

Step back,

Take a moment

And breathe.

 

Smile Just. So.

Even if it hurts.

Leave the pain, anger, betrayal

At the door;

Let go of your worst.

 

Seize the day

Live your life.

Embrace yourself

And forget the rest.

 

Lose it all,

Gain it back.

Fill the page.

Find your laugh.

 

(Title Inspired by Henry David Thoreau's Walden)
