Do not accept half a solution
Do not believe half truths
Do not dream half a dream
Do not fantasize about half hopes Half a drink will not quench your thirst Half a meal will not satiate your hunger Half the way will get you nowhere Half an idea will bear you no results Your other half is not the one you love
It is you in another time, yet in the same space It is you when you are not
Half a life is a life you didn't live,
A word you have not said A smile you postponed A love you have not had
A friendship you did not know
To reach and not arrive
Work and not work
Attend only to be absent
What makes you a stranger to them closest to you,
and they strangers to you
The half is a mere moment of inability,
but you are able for you are not half a being.
You are a whole that exists to live a life,
not half a life.
