Stop Looking & Start Living

Stop Looking & Start Living

A Poem by Catala


There's gotta be something in this world worth making you move.
Something above everything that gives you a reason to live.
But if you find yourself always looking, you'll miss it going by.
Who says our life has to be boring as hell?
That it's only worth living if we're doing it well?
Why not just live it for living itself?

Every minuscule reason why it shouldn't be so,
Keeps you from letting yourself get up and go,
When you live your life under a microscope,
Nothing will look perfect.
Who says our life has to be boring as hell?
That it's only worth living if we're doing it well?
Why not just live it for living itself?
So stop looking and start living.

You see the couples walking hand in hand.
The children enjoying their melting ice cream cones,
Ear buds rocking music to touch another's soul,
You can't figure out why it's them and not you.
Who says our life has to be boring as hell?
That it's only worth living if we're doing it well?
Why not just live it for living itself?
It's time to stop looking round for the right thing to do.

Let's start living life like it's meant to be lived.
The good, the bad, the ugly, the gorgeous,
Take it step by step.
Don't look for the right choice
The right word, the right action.
Don't live life only if it's done the right way.
Who says our life has to be boring as hell?
That it's only worth living if we're doing it well?
Why not just live it for living itself?

Make your mistakes and learn that they're good.
Start living a life where you don't look before you leap.

I enjoyed reading this. It's kind of like a guide to not worrying about what your actions might do or what you say whether it be good or bad. I think a lot of people can relate to this. Very well written. Thanks for sharing.
