First Day of Creative Writing

I wrote this the first day of creative writing. It's still one of my favorite things I've written. 

 
your life is your life
you cannot take it as you exit
you cannot decide when it will end

choose a succulent life
you can do that

decide that each morning is your first
each evening is your last
sway your hips
dance
love

do it all with abandon
without regret

you can slip into the life of another
if you’d like
make it a good character

do things you’ve only heard of
live in a circle
not a box

nothing goes without cycle
even abrupt exits have fluidity
you can make this choice
you are allowed to-after all

do not recoil or retreat
grab life by its pulse and harness it
you can do that, too

live as if you’re dancing
each issue has a new rhythm
embrace it
change it
adapt to it

make up your own steps
or freestyle
