What Would It Take?

A writing prompt

What would it take to live the life you seek?
What do you think would make you complete?
A life of works?
A life of pleasure?
A life worth remembering?
A life without error?

We go along always hoping for the best
Never realizing what is next
To wake up with a place to go
People to meet
And some reason to live some more
But some sit idle waiting for something to arrive
All the while thinking this is it, at least i tried
So you can wallow at the things never done
The things you thought you wanted but never won
There was a life you thought to seek

But sometimes dreams die because they wont make you complete
So what to do when there seems like there’s nothing to attain?
Lay and bed feel the dark skies turn to rain
Arise for days more assured
When success is set to rise
And practicality can be surmised
When what can be done is within reach
There is still time to do things,
There is still time to seek

What would it take for you find something for yourself?
Just get started
For something
For someplace else.
