What to think – Poem of the week (Week #1)

“What to think” by Robert M Drake

What to think

You think this is your life

That waking up every day,
working the same job
for years is enough.

That listening to the same songs,
thinking of the same movies
is all there is.

That telling yourself “tomorrow”
instead of “today”
is what keeps you alive.

You think this is living?
What breath should consist of?

That perhaps ,
deep within the wells of your heart,
you believe that you
do not deserve better?

The human heart is
the devourer of doubt.

And that is something we do not understand.

But

I want to tell you something
no one has ever told me.

I want to tell you
that there is inspiration everywhere.

That there is fire in the coldest
of places, and that,
light is born of darkness.

I want to tell you
that when you are sad,
laughter is soon to follow.

And when all is lost,
there is always hope
lurking in the background.

Believe it.

Now, of course,

I’m not trying to preach,
because I am no preacher,
but you have got to
find it in you to live.

To figure things out


You deserve all the best in life and make the best out of it. This moment, your life right now at this exact right moment – the exact second your are reading this and having thoughts – is not fixed. Your life right now is not fixed. Life itself is fixed as you are living right now. But THAT’s the thing – Life is fixed but the way you’re living it is not fixed. It can be as flexible as you want it to be. At the end, you have control over it and deserve to live it the best way possible. Soon a related blog post to this topic! 🙂

Have a wonderful day!
