Living Life Poem by Gabriel Jirgba

Living Life

Rating: 4.5


It's often easy to live life
When you want the 'every-other-person' life
Though a couple of challenges to face
Being like EVERYONE, you dont have to be too good
And moreover, people understand you more
Because they have been there before

It's a bit different on the other side
When hopes are lined for a bigger dream-
Challenges you have to face in solitary,
And distinct work is rarely an option.
Discouragement too -mostly when men think you're nuts
The path you fantasiesd could then become a 'long winding road'

Which ever path you choose is yours
Neither being too easy nor too hard to follow;
But I believe in a 'little extra work'
'coz though not always very easy,
It keeps your spirit closer to the mind
In deserts where no oasis are found.

It's true and nice to be heard what is within you..... yes it's to hard to do to choose but if you tend to be change in your positive way of living you can make it easy as possible as you can... Remember that everyday there's a new day, a new hope, a new change to live within your present life to be happy as possible as you can. We have the power to choose wanted in our live, to change our perspective in our life... that's our responsibilities in our own life

A very thoughtful write on whether to take the easy route or the harder route. I also believe you feel more self worth by taking the more laborious trail. Nicely done!
