To rest

To take a rest or to suffer without one,

That's the question.

I wish it was easy to refill the bottle of soul that's inside us,

To keep writing,

To keep making memories,

To keep smiling,

And to keep dreaming.

But everything comes at a price in life.

To take some time away from all of it,

Dreams,

Art,

People,

Uncreated memories,

The outcome varies.

You might get what you want from it.

But you might also lose things when you're trying to shut your soul down to rest.

People might leave you.

Dreams will fade.

Skills might damage.

But there might also be a dim light once you refill that bottle,

Your change in perspective can help you create more and better things.

Your calm after surviving the inner storm will help you in your relationship with the people around you.

And that dream that is so, so far might just be reachable.

To take a rest or to suffer without one,

A gamble every human takes,

For the never-ending journey of a human

Until a new one begins,

When we shut our eyes forever in this life,

And wait for the memories to play.
