Motivation


You only live once

The anthem of a generation

A theme that rules this nation

But this implies something

Something false

This supports something

Something incorrect

 

You only live once

Justification for all the stupid mistakes

An excuse to do you

But this takes aways from something

Something important

This detracts from something

Something meaningful

 

You only live once

Motivation to do it all

Reasoning to take that risk

Put it all on the line

And this kindles something

Something powerful

This lights a fire

A bright fire

Because I mean

You only live once
