carpe diem

sometimes in life
what you really want
and
what you really need
are one in the same.
no matter how much your try to fight it
no matter how much you try to replace it
the truth is,
only that one thing can give you
the fix that you need
and when you realize that
then it's time to face your biggest obstacle,
yourself.
you have to
cut the self doubt
remove the what ifs
and sometimes even put the future on the back burner
by just going for it and
living in the moment.
speak your mind
and seize the day
because you will wake up and realize
that you had what what you wanted
and what you needed
right at your finger tips, but
because of your own shadow,
the moment to grab hold has passed
never to captured again...
