Let every pore absorb light.
Swim in the joy of the here and now,
And cast off the darkness of night.

And love like a fool.

I must think.

Very good words have been given to the stronger self-discovered after failures in life. Such attitude is essential to keep moving in today's very competitive life.

And your feelings make you seem like a clone.
Deep down you are whole,

Why can't we sleep forever
And live inside our dreams,
Sheltered from the heartbreak
That life can sometimes bring.
