For My Life
I want a series of challenges
to prove to me that I am living
to make the long days before
whatever doom I’m reaching
worth it to myself
If I can have the loveliest relationships
as tough and laborious as a grindstone
to set me up with the strongest connection
I may ever make
indeed myself
whom I don’t know and yet hope to
by the end of all this
But before that
I must learn all I can
become myself a story worth telling
even if it is as simple as the
coziest fairy tale
For we live as our own heroes before the end
I will take on the quest
the challenge of my lifetime
and be worth it for myself
