Did you wake up with a pulse this morning
And lament how life is tough, or boring?
Open your eyes to sunshine or your favorite song,
Do your body’s business in a bathroom properly plumbed?
Pop feel-better pills just to get through the day,
Deny certain “feels” because it’s easier that way?
App order coffee that cost more than most human’s daily wages
Get orders from a boss who defies ancestry or ages
Work in a building that’s environmentally-approved
Yet insist on a new mind for your soul to be soothed?
Pop feel-better pills just to get through the day,
Deny certain “feels” because it’s easier that way?
It’s understandable to be caught up in the daily grind
But let yourself feel, and be moved by what you find.
Life doesn’t have to be happy every day
Except, accept it’s not designed that way.
Without the lows, there are no highs.
Why trade one thousand hellos for the fear of one goodbye?
Your life is priceless; how dare you wonder how
This day deserves to be lived, and it’s happening right now.
Your voice matters!
