You are slowly dying,
All of us are.
Whatever you can leave to the world,
Leave it.
Scatter the kindness within you,
Spread it around.
Let nothing remain in your heart,
The burden is too heavy to carry.
I heard our soul moves on,
To the other side,
Wherever that may be.
Let it stay there,
If it has truly lived.
Let heartbreaks stay in the past,
Life flows like the rhythm of a dance.
Sometimes sorrow, sometimes joy,
But your steps won’t always align.
Time is already ruthless.
We look into mirrors with the same eyes,
And the body,
Like a thief, steals away our youth.
So, step out of your house,
Live whatever is left!
Don’t let the beautiful songs inside you go unsung.
Write, pour your soul out,
And let the wind carry it all away.
