"Life Never Lived"

 

Sometimes...

There are moments...

So brief, and yet so poignant...

From the energy of flowing emotions it raises your inner being up

While others completely disconnect you from reality

Leaving you emotionless...

Almost indifferent

We are human...

We listen...

We remember...

And we try to forget...

Some learn easy, while others only learn the hard way

Lessons learned from our making, or taught by others

Remind us of only one thing proven

People have a lot to say about lives they've never lived

Simply because they cannot reciprocate what they have not been given

Or what they wish to give themselves...

Because those who are at war within cannot give you peace

Those who betray themselves cannot give you loyalty

And those who lie, cannot speak honestly...

Making us see them for who they are, and not for who we wish them to be

This is why we must focus on the changes we can make

And that which we can control

Attitude...

Effort...

Choice...

The power is within your hands

Ground yourself before climbing

Plant your roots deep...

People who are able to heal themselves have connected with the spirit within

Defeating the darkness embracing their soul

It's within the allowance given we are able to rise from the depths

Wisdom found becomes strength

It cultivates a spark

Creating a light that shines bright

Which offers inspiration on those cloudy days.
