When…
you can be yourself at times of happiness or sorrow,
either truly or pretending
understand yourself and change for the best
either with a smile or a frown
enjoy the rain amidst the fear of lightening
add humor to the seriousness of life
yet seriously cut short the humor when required
realize the value of your breath
and of others
the pain in a tear of yours
and of others
the meaning of a smile of yours
and of others
cease to think of your pain while easing anothers,
yet getting blamed rather than appreciated
let go of what you love even when your heart bleeds
learn to give another chance for mistakes made by others
but dont expect a second chance if you make one
be careful enough not to hurt another
knowing that your day is not far away
understand that nothing is forever life, happiness or sorrow
and have emotions under control holding on when possible
understand that being materialistic and calculative can get you nowhere
know people change as quick as the ticking of a clock
sharing caring and then slamming the door on your face
care most for who needs it the most and more for who needs it the least and
yet not care for being uncared
study different minds from all angles possible and
change yours when you are asked to
see life through your mind not eyes,
hear from your heart not ears,
speak from your soul not mouth,
write with emotions not hands
face each day as it comes either new or continued but with more strength
though alone
yet knowing that its getting closer to the end
…then you have seen life yet with unanswered questions, reveberating echos and tainted memories
