We've all had those dreams
on what we wanted to do,
but when you look back
something went askew.
You asked yourself, "how?"
Then you realized "when?"
would be a better question
to ask now & again.
We get caught up
in all those nonsensical things
like Kim Kardashian
& how bad she sings.
Like celebrities & gossip
& complaining about life.
We must remember
that everyone has strife.
Nothing is perfect
& nothing will be,
just stick to the positive
& how to be a better "me."

Thank you for reading my poem. It's really just about how we can start to feel so unsatisfied with our lives when we start to lose focus. We tend to think about famous people & want to be like them. We talk about the negatives in the world instead of using it as fuel to spread love & kindness. We spend so much time on our phone, on the computer, on some sort of device instead of turning it off & just acknowledging the life you have without it & what's going on around you.
What do you think? Do you ever get caught up in the moment? What are some goals you have but haven't done yet? :]

Stay in touch. Follow me on:
I'm always procrastinating when it comes to life and I have a lot of unfinished business when it comes to things that I want to do in life. Heck, I even procrastinate on the blog and on my school work at times! Nobody is perfect, but it's always good to just unwind and just take it easy sometimes. But always remember to stick to your goals and finish them, and don't say "I'll do it tomorrow" cause chances are tomorrow never comes!

Exactly, nobody is perfect but we have to rely on ourselves to do what we need to survive & thrive. :]

This is a relatable and lovely poem. It's so so true. Why do we compare our lives to others though? Why can't we strive for something we want? Why can't we just be happy with what we have?

I'm not sure. We often look at others & compare ourselves, when we ought to focus on how to better ourselves. :]
DeleteLoved your poem and post! I think we all are unique and should enjoy our lives, as well as take the most of them.

This is so lovely. Right now I'm reading this book "A Different Kind of Luxury: Japanese Lessons in Simple Living and Inner Abundance" and it brings to light the importance of slowing down and spending time on things you enjoy, like writing, creating, growing. Thank you for sharing your work, and reminding me to slooow down too.
