One Live to Life

Illustrate each misstep on a billboard. Fear nothing, and smirk for the instant you’re alive. Grant two thumbs up for every situation. And hold the essential close to home, as though your reality relies on it. Tolerate not an ego to break your soul. Breathe in play mode; never consent a second in reverse. Let a syllable be a flood to drown in. And when you embrace, hold on until your arms lose sensation. Allow a mirror to echo only compassion. Grant a smile to an outsider, to transform the world. Portray the fire within to ignite imagination. And double over at your jokes, when no one dares to crack a grin. Tiptoe from hate to confirm you’re far from troubled. Sew the very heart you hold, onto the seam of your sleeve. Conform to the molds set in the open ocean. And let the tick of the clock, remind of but one live to life.
