world poetry day – Lessons I learned after I turned 30

Randoms #1

I’m at sea.

Swimming in the open.

I can’t see anything but water.

My legs are tired. Hundreds of life jackets around me.

But I don’t know which to grab.

I’m drowning.

Just choose one!

But what if the one I choose is leaking? What if it carries me away to more dangerous lands?

Just choose one, you’ll drown.

But what if…?

They found her body the next day, on the shore, right by her house.

They say we only live once,

and that should be enough.

Be happy, life goes on.

Keep moving on.

It’s OK to struggle every now and then.

‘Cause we are only humans and we try our best.

Love with all your heart and live life to the full

You never know when it’s your time to go too.

Always remember to trust and

love yourself.

Do what makes you happy

and forget the rest.
