Sometimes

Tue, 08/04/2015 - 22:00 -- thursam

Sometimes, we forget.

We forget that life is good
And we are loved
And wanted
And important.

We forget that we deserve
And we can desire
And we can want
And we can need.

We forget that stuff happens
And will keep happening,
And never stop,
And never give.

Sometimes, we stop.

We stop and stare,
Just to look,
But not really see.

We stop and think,
To wonder,
But never realize.

We stop and breath,
Because we need to,
But never live.

But sometimes, we don't.

We don't forget that
Life is good and that
It is good because
We are loved,
We are wanted,
And we are important.

We remember that
We deserve and desire
And want and need.

We know that stuff happens,
And keeps happening,
And doesn't stop
And doesn't give.

And sometimes, stopping can be good.

We don't stop and stare
Just to look.
We stop and stare to see
All of these things.

We stop and think and
Wonder and marvel
At all of these things.

We stop and breath to
Suck in all of the
Life and love and everything
Because we can.
Because we thrive on it.
Because everything is awesome
And we realize it.
