Take it all, and be content.
The good and the bad,
The long and restless;
The easy and sweet.
You do not get both worlds.
Find the image
That reflects your true nature
And please embrace it.
Do not be afraid.
It is no matter
Of hard importance.
Only a simple obligation,
To accept that simple vision,
The one that is you.
Dwell not in bitterness.
Don't fault the choices
You could not make.
Just stride and live on
The right way, for once.
Give yourself room for error,
And abide the consequence
Of great loss ever so often.
Of misinterpretation;
Of unfortunate circumstance.
Be you, and no one else.
Hard to find, impossible to ignore.
May the best be always won
By such simple presence.
