For #OctPoWriMo Day 22, the prompt is, to “open of your favorite books, and write a poem on the first word or phrase that pops out at you, begin there.” My chosen poetry type is Acrostic.
“In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.”

L — Life’s full of challenges, and you’re doomed either way, to try again, to fail or thrive; life can be lived in many ways, but shouldn’t be wasted.
I — In many situations we try to improve ourselves, but improvement takes time; learning is forever.
F — Failing hurts, and isn’t easy. It’s repercussions can be brutal, but also make one feel alive, and pushes a person to do better. Failing can cause us to reconsider our lives.
E — Every time we attempt to out-do ourselves or others, we forget that not every activity or conversation is a race. Life‘s meant to be lived and to be loved.
*****
G — Games are only fun, if everyone knows the rules and plays by them — if everyone agrees to them. Playing games with people’s heads, hearts, minds, (etc.) is never right; be straight forward with others and don’t damage them.
O — Only spend time with people and places that help you and help others. If other people are toxic to you, and you can’t work out your problems, it’s time to let them go, and move on. A new view does wonders too.
E— Even though we ignore people who harm us, it’s essential to still treat people humanly. We might not like them, but we should still care and respect them as human beings, as sentient individuals.
S— Situations of all kinds arise in life, and it’s my firm belief that if we have faith, and keep going, we will be guided through life into better situations eventually through God’s grace and love.
*****
O — Often, we can help ourselves feel better by taking care of ourselves, through showering, grooming, dressing up or dressing comfortably; we can walk and or exercise too, around the house, park, or neighbourhood.
N — Not everyone fits a mould. We can achieve a ton by resting, and letting ourselves, loved ones, employees, and others, sleep-in. Not every body has a ‘morning-person’ schedule or an ‘evening-person’ schedule — all people are diverse.
