People always told me:

"High School is the best time
Of your whole life."

"College is the best time
of your whole life."

"You wedding day is the greatest day
Of your whole life."


It took me so long to realize they were
Unbelievably
Unquestionably
Irrefutably
Wrong.


The best time of your whole life
Is whenever you can
Love
Hate
Cry
Need
Want


And  feel it.
The best time of your whole life
Is when you can feel alive

When you feel
Everything you experience
And it's clear
Unmuddled
By inattention
By preoccupation
By the emotional anesthetic
Of pain.


It's when you can look out the window
See the sunrise
And it's a beautiful morning
And you can feel
In your heart
Hope

It's when you can look to the one person
You wronged so long ago
And they're so happy without you
And you can feel
In your heart
Grief

And it's there
Concrete
And you know it.

You feel alive,
Whatever you feel.


The best time of your whole life—
Has it gone by?
