Life is Fleeting...

Constantly I am reminded how limited my life is
I do not have all the time in the world and yet I find myself procrastinating
I find myself neglecting. I find myself not paying attention...to what really matters

I recently underwent a complete transformation
I had lost my way
I was unhappy
I was ungrateful

I did not know my worth
I did not appreciate my talents and I let them go to waste...

Then death hit me for the second time.
I was OK with death knocking on my door
Maybe that was a clue that I was already dead on the inside...

So I transformed...
I became a butterfly
I was flying high...in the friendly sky

And so when I returned from my metamorphosis, I was determined not to repeat the same mistakes
I was determined to dwell in happiness
I was determined to grow in greatness

I blossomed
I flourished

I was alive again

And then...
Death came knocking...knocking again at my door

He caught me off guard
And for a brief moment I lost sight of my will to live
I returned to the same pitfalls as before...the same toxic leeches

But how quickly I rebounded
For I am much stronger now and much wiser
My will to live is much stronger than my tendency to procrastinate and neglect

Life is fleeting...
I am here today but I can be gone tomorrow

I must leave a legacy
I must strive for happiness
I must leave all dark clouds behind and walk right into the sunshine...

Please let me go and live!
Because life is fleeting and I simply must fly
