Living

By AllisonPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
Act of Creation

What is life if we don't create?

Is it truly living if we don’t ever break?

How can we live if we don't let the fear wash away?

The fear of life is much greater than that of death

What if you never truly live and you don't realize until you take your last breath?

It is much easier to stay stuck in the same place

Never having to show your true face

Play the same game

Never wanting anything to change

But what do you learn when you stay there?

Is there something you gain?

Or are you just someone repeating the same day?

Keeping your brain stuck in a haze

You become uninspired

Never doing anything, yet always feeling so tired.

Maybe you shouldn’t be afraid to live

The worst that can happen already did

You should tell yourself the truth about where you have been

Try something different this time, or do it all again.
