Amor fati - the love of life


Another day goes by

Another year has passed

I'm immersed in this thing called life

A life that won't last


Am I doing my best?

Am I wasting my time?

Is everything trivial?

Have I passed my prime?


Such are the questions

That flow through my mind

Was I cursed with curiosity?

Or blessed to always ask why?


I wasn't born with the extreme need to believe

I was born with the daunting task to know

To use logic and reason

And let the emotions go


I learn to listen to the voice

The narrative that infects the mind

To acknowledge the kid

Who was trapped deep down inside


Ironically, when I let go of him

He gave me the gift to see

This can be a beautiful life

But only I can liberate me


Today is another opportunity

To experience the beauty life brings

I've learned to love it all

The good, the bad, Amor fati
