Make sure that you live,
do not simply exist.
At the end,
look back on your life
and smile, knowing
you have done all you could.
Don't be afraid to feel pain,
and don't be afraid to
take chances.
Live, do not simply exist.

i really like the way you write, so far this is the only poem of yours i have read, but i will be reading many more!
it is refreshing to read a poem that is giving advice and not just talking about how awful their life is. dont get me wrong, the emotional, personal peoms are the best, but a light at the end of the tunnel brightens the whole journey. thank you. alex
