you are alive.

YOU'RE ALIVE.
and our culture is so heck bent on not living.
you were born to live an amazing life
and it makes me sad
to see you not living.
to see your heart beat
but your eyes dead.
to see you complain about the fact
that you're breathing.
you're alive,
so what are you going to do about it?
live?
or let this society pull you down
into their eternal boredom
of selfishness
almost as soon as you're old enough to realize you're alive?
let them tell you that this is the life you're supposed to have,
when the life they are giving you traps you
and makes you feel like you're drowning?
live!
live,
kid.
just live.
