"To Live" - An original poem

Hey there, darling! Here's an inspiring poem from a GL reader just like you. Take a peek, then tell us what you think in the comments.

"To Live"

What it means to live

What it means to breathe

What it means to enjoy

This life as we strive to achieve

 

People come and they go

Off to different directions

But others will come

And one will form more connections

 

Hoping is one thing

Expecting things to happen is another

Expecting will get you nowhere

Hover and suffer

 

Do not waste time dwelling

Do not let it become the reason you fall

If life doesn’t turn out the way you desired it to be

Stand up tall, and resist the sprawl
