not really a poem

it's a very small
window. this life.
the brevity of it
all is astonishing.
decide quickly what's
important, what makes
you sad or worry,
then make all of
it, as quickly as
possible, right.
find the joy, a
passion, find love.
find peace
and contentment in
whatever place you
land. don't crowd
the room with angry
souls. don't let
their unhappiness infect
you. don't waste your
time and energy on
what can't be fixed,
move on, don't stay
where you are not wanted,
or being used,
or chase what can't
be caught. be happy
in the moment. be
happy with who you
are, not with what
you have. chase
away that darkness
with light and through
all of it be thankful.
