Inspiration

Your life is your life
Don't let it be clubbed into dank submission.
Be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is a light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can't beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it, 
the more light there will be.
your life is your life. 
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous 
the gods wait to delight in you.


I saw this as an advertisement on Hulu once, and from then on it has become my favorite poem. I watch it every other day just to remember to look at the bright side of things...
