Life As We Know It, Is Nothing but an Endless Extension

 

This life we live, a never-ending stream of moments, memories, and endless dreams

A journey we embark on from our birth, a story of existence, our time on earth

 

We start off small, innocent and pure

Our world so new, our hearts so sure

Each step we take, a new discovery

A journey of learning, of growth, of mystery

 

As we grow older, we start to see the world around us, so vast and free

We try to make our mark, we leave our trace on this endless extension, this endless race

 

We laugh and love, we cry and grieve

We fall and fail, but still we believe

That life is worth it, the highs and lows

The endless extension, the ebb and flow

 

We search for meaning, for purpose and truth, for something that lasts beyond our youth

We seek to find our place in this world, to leave a legacy, a story to be told

 

And as the years go by, we start to realize, that life is not just about the highs

But also the lows, the struggles we face, the endless extension, the never-ending race

 

For in these moments, we learn to grow,

to find the strength to face the unknown

To embrace the journey, the twists and turns,

 to live each day, to love and learn

 

And though this life may seem so long

It's but a moment, an ephemeral song

So let us make the most of every day 

and cherish each step along the way

 

For in the end, it's not the length of life but how we lived, and loved, and thrived

Let us embrace each moment, every breath and make this life a beautiful, endless quest.

Is This How It Should Be?

 

I lost myself in love, 

surrendered every inch of me 

to someone who never cared enough

to see the beauty I could be.

 

I thought I knew what love was 

but it was only an illusion. 

A fleeting feeling 

an empty buzz that left me with confusion

 

I gave and gave and gave 

but never received in kind

I thought I could be brave 

and leave the past behind

 

But every time I tried to leave, 

the pull of love was strong

And I was back again, 

to the same place where I didn't belong

 

I lost my sense of self 

in the pursuit of someone else's heart

I put my dreams on a shelf 

and watched them slowly fall apart

 

I thought love was supposed to heal 

but it only left me broken

And every time I tried to feel, 

I found that love was just a token

 

A token of affection 

that meant nothing in the end

A mere fleeting connection 

that I couldn't even comprehend

 

So here I am, lost and alone 

with nothing but memories to hold

I wish I could have known 

that loving wasn't worth the toll

 

But still, I can't help but wonder, 

if I'll ever find my way out 

of the spell that I'm under

And step into the light of a brand new day.

Am I Worthy?

Sometimes I feel so small and weak,

As if I'm not enough, not meant to speak.

My worth feels lost, like it's out of reach,

And my confidence wavers with every speech.

I compare myself to others, and I fall short,

My insecurities take hold and become a sort

Of heavy weight, dragging me down,

I wonder if my worth can ever be found.

The world seems to demand so much,

And I struggle to keep up, to keep in touch,

With who I am, with what I want,

As if I'm always playing a game that's taunt.

But I know that I'm not alone,

That others feel this way, in their own zone.

And though it's hard to see my own light,

I know it's there, shining bright.

So I'll take a deep breath, and let it out,

And remind myself what I'm all about.

I'll focus on my strengths, my unique flair,

And remind myself that I'm worthy, that I'm there.
