It is Prohibited

‎​IT IS PROHIBITED

By Pablo Neruda

It is prohibited to cry without learning,

to get up one day without knowing what to do, 

to have fear of your memories ...

It is prohibited not to smile at problems,

not to fight for what you want,

to abandon everything for fear,

not to turn your dreams into reality ...

It is prohibited not to try to understand people, 

to think that their lives are worth less than yours, 

not to know that everyone has their own way and happiness ...

It is prohibited not to create your history, 

not to have a moment for the people that need you, 

not to understand that what life gives you can also be taken away ...

It is prohibited not to search for your happiness, 

not to live your life with a positive attitude, 

not to believe that one can improve, 

not to feel that without you, this world would not be the same ...

Special thanks to my friend, Ruben, who gave me this poem. It is a beautiful poem and I love it. Thank you, bro!
