Revelation

For the first time, I was beginning to understand what life is all about. 
Life isn't about diving into the water
It's about swimming
It's not about the finished painting
It's about the way you feel when you spread the paint around the canvas
It's not about the destination
It's about the journey
Because life is beautiful
But it's cruel
And it's harsh
And it will beat you up until you fall apart 
and have to get back up
and dive back into the water
or get a new canvas
Life isn't about mistakes
It's not about solutions
It's not about problems
It's not light or dark or black or white
It's not either-or
It's a complicated mess that no one quite seems to figure out
But for the first time, I know what life is about
It's about being free
It's about living

    This poem is super cringe and cheesy but I wanted to get back into writing. Enjoy.
