As a farewell to Mistryl, I performed this poem at the Wishing Well (for 5/12007). It was written by Monica Brujenes. Good luck, in whatever you do Mistryl. You were my favorite Community Manager.
Living Is...
Living is a risk-
The more risks you take the more you live.
Living is a gift-
The more gifts you give the more you live.
Living is more than existing.
Existing isn't living.
Living is a joy-
The more joy you have the more you live.
Living is a strain-
The less pain you have the less you gain.
Living is wonderful,
Living is evil,
Living is harsh,
Living is smart,
Living is girls,
Living is boys,
Living is everything, nothing, and then some.
Only you can decide how to live, you are the one.
You can be good,
You can be bad,
But whatever you be don't be sad, because being alive is a risky thing.
The fact that you're still going should make your heart sing.
