its just that
surviving
isn’t the same as living
and saying thank you
isn’t the same as having gratitude
its just that
loving someone
doesn’t necessarily mean you’re in love
and at times
changing the world
doesn’t necessarily mean you’re saving the world
it’s just that
not knowing, what’s happening around you
doesn’t necessarily mean
you’re living under a rock
and being married
doesn’t necessarily mean
that you’re settled
its just that
we got to try
to not be disillusioned
by these so called
‘grown-up’ perspectives
its just that
we got to try
to not let faith
be based
solely on comfort
and excuses
it’s just that
we got to try
to not let that magic
within us
die
its just that
we got to try
to live our life
and not just
survive
