we try so hard

  to live well, but

we don’t need

  to live well…

our being here is

  enough.

we try so hard

  to be loved

looking ceaselessly for

  the one who will adore us

dear one, there is no need

  to look for love

your being here is

  enough.

we can’t hear our heart

  beats in a crowded room

in a sea of faces we 

  can’t see

ourselves

  friend, life is simple

don’t make it complex.

 just live each day

as it comes. your being here

  is enough.
