It's up to you


If you have not yet fallen, how could you know how to climb?

speak your thought and feelings never remain a mime.

we learn from our mistakes and not our cautious takes

so laugh until tears fall and your stomach begins to ache

 

memories will soon fade but make sure they're all great

time will continue to fly, so don't waste it filled with hate

when our days are numbered remember the time that we had

take that lead, embrace those mistakes, and become obsessed in every fad 

 

when you live like you should, you can look back and say

i was here, made my mark, and seized the day! 

Carpe diem carpe diem, oh how I love thee 

I did exactly what you mean; can't believe the things I've done and places I go to see.
