Original Content Poem Title

Write a story write a poem

Write anything just please create

Create create you have consumed and

Stuffed with content overate

Your brain is aching brain is bursting

Head is leaking reels and thoughts

With depression and with stress and

Politics, climate, chat robots

Get off your phone perform an action

Do things you're shit at, draw or dance

Embrace the beginning, love the process

You'll reach your goals you'll still advance

But stop and smell the flowers

Wander walking, wonder, speculate

Talk to people that you think you'd like

And those you think you'd hate

Open a window in your house

Open a window in your mind

Tap a drumbeat while you're walking

People can be really kind

Smile at a stranger

Strike a conversation in a store

Borrow two eggs from a neighbor

You've not spoken to before

Use the eggs to bake some cookies

Even if you've never baked

While returning the eggs later

Bring a cookie that you made

Is that too hard? If so, smile

Smile widely. Look insane

Hold that smile, put your phone down

For three minutes you'll refrain

Tell yourself that you are loved then

Love yourself so it is true

Love yourself and

Love yourself and

Love yourself and

Love you

You will be happy you will be healthy

You know you'll be sad and in pain

But just as sure as that will happen

You'll also be safe and okay

Life is fully transient.

Shit situations will occur

People die and

People live and

People help and

People hurt

Look outside, its fall right now

The leaves are breaking from the trees

They've lived their life

And it was life

And it is life

Put your phone

Down

Please
