I died, and you guys are invited to the funeral!
You only live once
This words aren't a guarantee
For miraculous safety
Rather it is a dreamful promise
To think of the opportunity you may miss
While facing your dream
Standing in the beam of the unseen
Of which you scream in the direction of which you do not know
But what you do know is that it’s a place you want to go
And show,
That you were not afraid of “do” but of “if”
And that IF you were, than that “if” would be the width
Of the life that was sufficed with just being ordinary
It is not an excuse
As is often its misuse
To do what you want
With confidence to flaunt
But it is a guideline
For future generations to outline
Their future success
Based on the past’s unrest
In taking advantage of life
By taking this advice
Instead of saying
How would i be paying
When they should be saying
What COULD you be GAINING
If you took a chance
Pulled up your pants
And so happened to glance
At your high school dance
And sparked a romance
With your high school sweetheart
Or with the one who was into art
And was really smart
And after a while, captured you heart
You don’t want a “I would” to replace a “I do”
Or what you could’ve drawn with what you already drew
With the hands that barely knew
The fate that became brand new
When you made the choice
To use yours hands AND your voice
And follow the path until it has ended
Correct it, resend it
Rejected, checked it
Dejected, but not ejected
Restless, but not reckless
To follow your “I do”
And slip out of the glue
That host a queue
Of those who never flew, nor grew
Because their throat blocked back the words: “I DO”
You only live once!
