A Powerful Will

To everything — a cost

Photo by Karl Ibri on Unsplash

Destined to die; what of powerful will?

Not the will simply to survive, but to live with purpose, and passion— the will to achieve. This is the simplest motor for regeneration, is it not? To fulfill the greater will of life by growing towards an ever greatening goal?

F*ck the popular science on this one.

Whatever that is.

These are the workings of life itself. As long as one doesn’t overdo it; a tad too much stress literally kills a person.

And that’s a proper usage of “literally”.

Thank you Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她) for inviting me to partake in this perfect prompt for me at this time of quietude. 🙏 🙏

On the other hand, if you there reading this right now aren’t Lucy, and you enjoyed this short poem under ten words, then you may want to check out her original poem, found directly below —
