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.
