I Live to Die
I live to see the sunshine, brighter than the green on pine
I live to see the rain, gloomy and forever a pain
I live to eat, stuffing my mouth whereever I find a seat
I live to drink, only to end up in the kitchen sink
I live to succeed, a passion that is more than just greed
I live to fail, sometimes sinking before I sail
I live to learn, seeking greater knowledge I yearn
I live to forget, of days younger and pants wet
I live to love, to find a hand that fits my glove
I live to hate, to shout at things irrate
I live to be alive, so I can do all these things and thrive
Most importantly
I live to die
