10. A Life Like This

I’ve been blessed with the absence of boredom,

Set on fire, thrust into the whirlpool,

Consistently touched by all that surrounds,

Granted access to this buzz that abounds.

Pace myself though I do I savor all,

Raising my hand when the room is silent,

Inclined to follow through and take some risks

Even if it means jumping off of cliffs.

I breathe in all of the bittersweet bliss

Lucky to be living a life like this.
