Sometimes I think

Sometimes I think
life is too short
to be sad.
Sometimes I think
life is too long
to always enjoy it.
Sometimes I think
life is too beautiful
to turn a blind eye to it.
Sometimes I think
life is too harsh
to always stay optimistic.
Sometimes I think
I should think
that life is just right
the way it is,
with all its vibrant colors
and rough, deep undertones.
Then all this thinking
would come to an end...
But sometimes, it's good
to think what I think
and not
what I should think.

Sometimes I think...

(Ilka Berikhan)

Manchmal denke ich ...
