because its real

They think because it's real

It changed their life

They think because they've done so much and lived so long

It's real

but it's a figment of everyone's imagination.

We create all of these ideas and thoughts of what life is

And we lose

What life has always been

To survive.

There aren't always ethics. Smarts or right and wrong.

Sometimes it's just things you must do to keep going on.

Sometimes it's things that grow inside and tell you what to do even when your heart is giving out and it's climbing up your throat.

Sometimes

It's closing the store and taking the trash out.

But the store is your life

And the trash is how you chose to carry it out.

So I know

That the trash I take out

Will be someone else's.

Maybe they won't treasure it like I did.

But they'll in turn

Make their own.

Just as you will.

Just as we all do.
