Guide to Living

Just because you're alive,
Doesn't mean you are living.
Not even if you shout,
Or your feet keep moving.
Living is more,
Then just a daily chore.
Embrace it,
Love it,
Stop making it a bore.
Jump off that cliff,
Love that one person you never thought you could.
You will be amazed
Of what you're truly capable of.
Scream
Laugh
Take relaxing baths.
Melt the stress,
All the way down to your fingertips.
Trust
Smile
Stay in one place awhile.
Take in your surroundings,
Not just past through.
The only one capable of truly living,
Is you.
