life is not about the breaths you take, but the moments that you put into the breaths.

life is like a canvas, you can throw all the paint you want on it, and create a masterpiece.

And at the end of the day
All you have written is a poem
The time you put in
The enjoyment

The thoughts washing through your head
Then in the end
Whats the point?
After all its just a poem.

Is it the word "by"
That keeps you going?
Work that is honestly yours
Should we be proud?

The author's comments:
the time and effort we put into our work, is it worth it? we dont get anything in return, so what makes us continue doing it? is it the word "by" that keeps us going? "by shelby-lee henshaw" knowing you have written something that someone else can relate to, makes you feel good inside because you wrote it! "by" remember that.
