I got published on SpillWords again! My poem, Just Because It was Bad, Doesn’t Mean It Was Beneficial, was posted this morning. If you could read and rate it, that would be awesome. http://spillwords.com/just-because-its-bad-doesnt-mean-it-wasnt-beneficial/
Tomorrow doesn’t exist
so live to the fullest today
tomorrow doesn’t exist
don’t let anyone stand in your way
No matter what they say
no matter what they tell you to do
live to the fullest today
do what you know you should
Dreams come, and dreams go
but you’re the only one that knows
how to make them true
Attack the norm
Defy the expectations
Be the best version of you
Wind, rain, or shine
always run, never walk
you’re not promised a single dime
and most of the time
we think we’ll always have more
Wait till next weekend, what about next year
but until you breathe long enough to live it
are you sure you’ve really got it?
What’s stopping you
put your head down, and run through the door
The world is waiting for you
This world, and so, so much more
Man, woman, black, white, gay, straight
there’s not a second more to wait
American, Russian, Chinese, European
you know your dreams, now meet them
We spend so much putting off what we want
thinking we can do it tomorrow
that we never get what we want
and so we spend life borrowing
someone else’s dreams
their leftover pixie dust
I say change the times
and make your own magic
Voted.

Bravo sir.
Much wisdom.
Nice style – even hints of Dr Seuss in places. Or maybe that’s me!
Are you familiar with a performance poet called In-Q?. I wrote my first poem about OCD after watching him perform:

Your posts about hope and life inspired me to write this. I felt like we spend too much time worried about what we don’t have, rather than the bounties we’ve been given.

Well I’m glad for that….. ☺️ And you’re absolutely right. We’ve got to focus on the blessings we do have, right where we’re at. 😉
