Life


As a child so carefree yet curious;

not knowing what'ss going on the next day.

Crying out in laughter and tears;

adults don't hear, when u have nothing to say.

Suddenly you're older;

more mature and bolder. 

Believing you can acomplish it all isn't a option anymore;

You've let life go by like a foreclosed store.

What happened to that child;

so carefree yet curious.

Now not long after, oh how so serious.

The life of the young was stole from within;

or was it by chance, simply given?

Life is too short to let it go by;

Live it to the fullest or you'll only wonder (WHY?)

Dont take it forgranted young one.

Becasue soon you'll be done; 

And knowone will know or care that you're gone.

 

Why are we so desperately eager to LIVE;

Yet so foolishly eager to DIE??
