Several souls around me
Some lost and some broken,
Drowning in thin air.
Their shirts drenched
With the liquid courage
that falls from their eyes.

Moving through the motions,
And blindly stumbling through time.
Falling into the man made trap,
That steals life before their eyes.

I'm screaming at you.
In attempts to capture your attention.
Open your eyes!!
Time is fleeting,
And you are deprived of self awareness.

Life is but a vapor.
It vanishes in the air so unrecognizably fast.
Happiness is a choice,
and it is your duty to exhort it.
Exhort it with all the strength in your body.
Bust through the doors
And sing an anthem
With the deepest breath your lungs can absorb.

Make the blood pulse through your veins,
And cause your heart to burst from your chest.
I beg of you- pleading.
From every fiber I contain,
Choose and experience jubilance,
Because you can.
Live in the world around you.
