porthole to a different world
submersed in day to day stress
make sure you're fed, make sure the bills are paid
take the power to help your family, or friends
take all of the burdens that pile onto your shoulders throughout the day
and dump them.
Dump them into the porthole.
escape life for a couple minutes or hours a day
write something that could be used in textbooks one day
write something that could be discovered centuries later.
will yourself to leave a footprint on this life.
enter the porthole.
discover others with the same thoughts as you.
answer someone's work with opposing thoughts.
become another person society has never seen.
be the porthole
share it with friends and family
share it with strangers
love the porthole.
let it be all who you ever will be and ever were
keep the porthole alive.
