There are times when the happenings of life
tempt us to want to
fade away
check out
just not care
apathy
fatigue
hopelessness
feeling overwhelmed
like effort is in vain
Just wanting to check-out
and when I say, "check-out"
I am not talking suicide
I am not talking suicide
I mean resorting to just existing
existing
floating
just being
DRAINED
Sapped of energy or motivation
Apathetic
checking out mentally and emotionally
because of the multitude of waves
because of the time it's taking
because of the constant winds
because of low visibility
because of clothes drenched from rain...
But I dare you
I challenge you
I beg you
DON'T GIVE UP
Go to bed
and get up again
SLEEP
and then rise again
plan again
REST
and then dream again
NAP
and then go again
PAUSE
and then press play again
SHOW UP
Show up in your own life
and KEEP SHOWING UP
Your life
needs you
You need you
The world needs you
the fulfillment of your purpose requires you
to keep SHOWING UP
