a life 

you say

well then surely it is enough.

for you have settled in and called it such,

haven’t you? 

do you feel it the

life you are calling it

complete

fullfilling

real

honest

deep and passionate. it doesn’t

need to be loud I’m not

saying that. It doesn’t even need to be seen.

but it needs to be real.

real you say.

real you ask.

real. yes. real.

real like you feel it.

real like your gut says yes every step you take every breath you make. 

real like vibrates through your skin and makes your toes tingle

real like your heart swells in that way that can only happen when you don’t even have space

to call it anything because you are so 

alight

afire

you simply are there.

real like that.

it doesn’t have to be loud.

it doesn’t have to even really shine on someone else

though it does

it only needs to be you-know-it real.

go do that.

go be that.

now.
