Lately I’ve been reflecting,

And reassessing.

And it’s all so disappointing,

How I’m stressing,

To make a dollar.

Because I don’t want to wear a collar,

And represent a brand that’s not me.

This time lapse between,

My goals and success,

Sometimes it feels like a mess.

But I know it’s heaven sent,

Just had to mention,

That life is not always

Fairytales and rainbows.

Sometimes it’s battles with demons nobody knows.

Sometimes it’s dark places and darker faces,

And needing light,

But nobody shows.

that is perfectly fine,

Because each moment is divine.

Each moment is intertwined with our highest calling.

And I just want to reach that point,

Where I can let the world know,

That life is beautiful in the madness.

It’s beautiful in the sadness.

It’s beautiful if you’re living average.

It’s beautiful if you can or cannot manage.

It’s beautiful because you are here,

And no one is you.

And you touch those who pass you by,

You touch those who wonder why

They never made it in your circle.

You are loved even by those who hurt you,

See because life is full of surprises,

And even sometimes I’m surprised,

when I catch myself reflecting,

and feeling like I haven’t achieved enough,

Because I know that’s a lie.

I know we are all racing to have it all before we die.

But I find peace after all of these messy thoughts…

I find peace in knowing that I have lived,

And even if it’s not the ideal life,

I have loved.

And even if it’s not the perfect love,

I have felt.

And even if it’s not the perfect feeling,

I have dealt,

And worked my way through what feels like heaven and hell,

All on Gods green earth,

I have lived,

And if that is all that I can say,

Before my last day,

Then for me,

That is enough.
