Poetry- Take Control by Izmir Laforest

Don’t you want to live?

Don’t you want to reach for the stars?

Don’t you want to do more than simply existing?

We’ve been living in this box all our lives,

we know of nothing else.

We know not of the sublime,

we don’t comprehend the nature of our lives.

But one thing is certain: it is overflowing with possibility.

Take that possibility.

Take a chance on the uncontainable, and unpredictable.

Breathe...

and make the most of it.
