Need

Need

I don’t want to sit here,

Anymore.

And

Watch

Life

Pass by.

I don’t want to be,

Comfortable.

I want to

Wake up

Every morning

Knowing,

Believing

I’ve done at least

Something,

Anything.

Life

Used to be so

Black

And

White.

I want to

Fill it

With so many

Colors.

Red,

Yellow,

Green,

Blue.

Life

Used to be

A flat land.

I want to

Fill it

With mountains.

The Rockies,

Himalayas,

The Alps.

I want to

Climb.

I need to

Climb.

 

Author's Note

This was literally poured from the core of me, this runs through my mind daily. When I leave this world, I want to know I've done something. I need to know it.

I feel as life was meant to be appreciated and honored by leaving something legendary. My anxiety is often fueled by thoughts like this. I hope you have a very beautiful and fulfilling climb. See you at the top. Very beautiful writing by the way...

Well done.
I can feel it completely. And I love how you build up to
"I need to
Climb."

Hi!
You have made a wonderful piece. It is truly lamentable for us to take life for granted, especially if we see other people in our age striving to make every passing moment worthwhile. I have felt it myself and your work really spilled the bottle of underlying emotions inside this sentiment, very honestly.
I hope you the best!
Thank you for sharing!

I feel the "need" through your expression... and in sharing...you have achieved what you've set out to do.
