live my work

I’ll have to be mentally and physically strong.
Keep myself happy.
Not by chance — but by design.

Wake up early.
Drink water.
Go outside.
Stretch. Dance, maybe.

Eat well.
Talk to family.
Be present with them.

Thank god I’m alive.
Be grateful, really.

And do something good.
For the world.

That’s how I’ll move on.
That’s how I’ll grow.

Just doing my thing.
Doing what I love.
Keeping my eye on the prize.
And ignoring anyone who drains me.
