day fifty-seven: how to "live"

it's a strange sensation

to be told you're living life wrong

then one day

it hits you:

you're doing what is natural

what is normal

what you've been made to do

and that the people who've been telling you

how to "live"

never really lived

or maybe they did

and i'm just naive

but of this i am sure

happy is what i am

doing what i've found

that i love to do

being who i discovered i am

and loving those

i have to love

and letting go of those who have left

and it's a strange sensation

to not worry about it anymore

because i'm doing what i was made to do

and when i make my bed

i'll have to lay in it

and i may lay in it with you

but that will be okay,

because i'm doing what i'm supposed to do...

i love you.
