Throw Away Your Life Poem by Alan Michael DeCara

Throw away your life, and walk the path forward;
Try to live it out, and fall paces backward.
Desire nothing more than you can produce on your own
Because reaching higher expectations isn't set in stone.

You can only know that which you accept as true,
So don't set your dreams unless you can follow through.
Live day by day and not life by life,
Existing this way rescues the arrogant from their strife.

Forge your goals low enough to reach,
Calling on your common sense to realize you can't attain each.
Throw away your life, and establish yourself anew,
Make a difference in someone else's life and stop worrying about you.
