Victims

We are victims
of the worst kind of cowardice
when we can see our dreams
and we do not chase them.

We are victims
of the worst kind of laziness
when we know how to bring it to be
and we let it lie.

We are victims
of the worst kind of lonliness
when we meet someone
with whom we could find a little joy
and we let the opportunity walkaway.

Do not be a victim.
Stop mourning what does not deserve
any more
than memory.
Acknowlege that sign from that stranger.
Get that number.
Return that call.
Enjoy something
alive and vibrant and new.
Live.
Laugh.
Love.
