Advice from a Bagel
I am stuck in the bottom of the store that does not love me anymore.
I don’t see anything around me.
Everything is dark.
I am forgotten.
Don’t be forgotten.
Live life out loud, you don’t know when life will turn for the worst.
My life did.
I am stale, and crusty.
Mold has grown on my skin.
Be active in the life that you live in.
Don’t rest for a second, because if you do you might grow mold, too.
See the world through open eyes, because I cannot.
