To Live

We live life in an accepting fashion

This is what was chosen for me

I am set in my ways

Yet we know there is better out there

Wish for more

But we are stuck

Can’t move

Immobile

A lazy mentality

Look around

There’s sadness

Illness and death

Plenty of morbidity

Life ends

Eventually

Sooner than later

But what kind of life

Are we living

Does it mean anything

Any meaning involved

Is there depth

Warmth

Love

Are there people

In your life

That you neglect

Have you hugged your child

Smiled at a stranger

Waved to your neighbor

Let a car pass

Or are we selfish

Refusing to move

Or budge

Unwilling to share the universe

Or join the fight

Do we make it about us

And not acknowledge the rest

Of the world

Make a move

Don’t sit stagnant

No more wasting away

Or letting time pass

Grab life

And take it

To a place you want to be

To the person you want  to be

It’s up to you

No one else

Will make the move

Only you

Can make that change

Choose to live

Choose life
