person, not a project

Focused on the end goal,

I seldom had fun,

aiming for perfection,

then wallowing in sorrow when I fail,

was my story.

we treat life like a project,

constantly trying to better ourselves,

if failing, trying to get past that failure,

if slapped, slapping back,

but not letting ourselves relish the pain of the slap,

not letting us accept the failure,

not letting us live in the moment,

we choose to do that knowingly or unknowingly,

life is a game,

enjoy it, grow yourself along the way,

don’t try to be a grown-up and try to play optimally,

what’s the fun in that?

be unwittingly witty,

sad yet joyful,

angry yet calm,

remember,

you’re a person, not a project
