Day 197: Stay Alive

"Stay Alive" is a metaphor that is used in the context of this writing. While going through the week we are flooded by thoughts and ideas in our heads. Some of these will stay with us for a long time and some will fade away into the less important space. Places where we have decided that we can close and summarize these weeks and set up short term goals which we may or may not achieve. This writing is an exploration of the need to keep some of these ideas, the less important ones alive for a period of time. It is to allow us to grow knowing that we are multi threaded in our brains as we connect and disconnect from thoughts, writing some of them down and hoping that we write even more the next day. It is a call for inspiration at the end of weeks or days alike, and in between the chaos of the world a call for some things to simply stay alive.

Stay Alive
End this week with just hours of the day
Things from which you have never stepped away
Little things that have all added up to be
Things we collect as we write our own summaries

There are times when you will be called upon to lead
To be caught in between places we didn't look for or pay heed
The troubles you may carry over just the same
You have found your solace & sanity, among the seemingly insane.

Some days are about just staying alive,
Doing what you can to know whatever matters & survive
About perfect endings that do not exist
And dreams in your head with which you persist

Some say the longest walks are the ones you take alone
As time flies by and things change; when you are long gone
But quiet thoughts and your very own memories
Stay alive in writings of a day & in between what you need to be.
