there’s actually nothing
new under the sun,
it’s all already been done.
I know your ego hates this shun.
It likes to keep you from having actual fun.
In the name of things being won
or coming up with some ‘new’ pun
which is really just a rehash of something already…. done (used that already) by someone
whilst punishing your body on a morning run?
Imagine if you weren’t like everyone
and rather than care about being outdone
or all your baggage to overcome
you decided on purpose to wake up like your life has just begun

Vale Perficientur
"My tears need a minute to find the edges of my face. If you'll please excuse me." The sarcasm stabbed into Juliana’s heart. Antonia glared at her from the pit of the Lyceum as her student fought to hold back tears that had nothing to do with the pain in her fingers. “You’re better than this, again.”

Gorgeous and exactly what I needed to hear right now! Thank you Kayleigh!
Wonderful and smart poems. keep Writing kayleigh
You'll probably find something to hit me with if I tell you what I think of when I wake up 😝😝 But what you have mentioned here, decide on purpose to wake up like our life has just begun. Loved your poem!
Ah yes!!! Different costumes and the same characters 🎉😳 something about knowing we aren't super original is comforting
Wise words Kayleigh 😁👍
Great and thought provoking poem Kayleigh 😊. I literally had similar thoughts recently as well when writing a poem. We're probably not unique (in most ways anyway) but that shouldn't stop us from living!
👍“Decided on purpose” ..that’s the challenge!! Cool ideas Kayleigh.
This is so good. I really loved the way you ended it!
Ah, we humans do struggle with wanting the social safety that comes with a little status, don't we.
Great little mic drop moment, Kayleigh!
