Ode to Life

I have come to learn that I have to ignore some things.
The constant pain in my chest,
The occasional blood in the phlegm that tries to
Suffocate me,
The tumor slowly growing on my left wrist.
I'm not able to do anything about those.
Not yet.
So, rather than let my migraines stop my day,
Before I can deny food simply because it has
Calories,
I do something.
I put on my helmet,
And let the wind rush past me as I go down the rocky street on which I live,
And I enjoy what I have.
I'm alive.
If you order the wrong thing at Starbucks,
You don't just throw it away, do you?
Sure, it's not what you wanted,
But you still enjoy it.
I didn't ask for a life of abuse
And multiplying medical complications,
But I also didn't ask for my little brother,
Or my best friends.
Sure, I could die at any moment,
But my boyfriend could also call me at any moment.
The moral is,
I'm going to enjoy my life
Despite the bad.
I suggest you do, too.
