Rather than remain a prisoner
of an unchangeable past,
understand how this very moment
is not necessarily the last,
and flow with fluidity
across the ocean of time,
and venture into adventure
across time and space,
all while striving to make the world
an even greater place,
so never ever feel
like vanishing without a trace,
and utilize human hands
to embrace a personal identity,
and create and appreciate
with humbleness and humility,
and forgive as a way to live
with a newfound sense of freedom,
found through the power
of knowledge and wisdom,
and live with a sense of clarity
through the acceptance of reality,
and be open to a new life
full of endless possibilities
through the willpower to ignite the fire
that would fuel the desire to inspire
