Moments
What's it mean to be alive?
There's more to life than simply living
Just to live doesn't mean you're alive
Every day has its moments
The good, the bad, and the ugly
Cherish the good moments,
And embrace the beautiful ones
Take bad moments in stride
Nobody is perfect
Don't dwell on them, however
Unless you crave unintended consequences
The ugly moments are life's worst
Don't stress over them
Case in point
Take a chance when it comes
Opportunity doesn't last long
Life is not a spectator sport
Go out and join the game
Just take a moment to appreciate
A moment to laugh
A moment to love
And a moment to live
It doesn't take long
Once a day is all I ask
Life is full of moments
One moment is all you need
One chance is all you get
Me personally, I'd rather live a moment
Instead of living a life
Because death is a part of life
Life doesn't last long
But moments . . . moments last forever

Writing is a skill that I believe everyone should cultivate and grow to the best of their abilities. Naturally, some are better than others. But, that's the beauty of writing. For me personally, between balancing wrestling, baseball, orchestra (violin, thanks for asking), and academics, I barely have any time to write. But I can jot down notes or ideas here or there and later turn those thoughts into novels and poems. Poetry is whatever you want it to be, and that is the beauty of it.
