not born to die


when people say we live to die

i nod in disagree, such a shame

our generation is stressed. depressed

wake up in anger, sleep in tears.

what has the world come to that we

rather be dead than alive.

life if beautiful if you think about it.

no one knows when we are going to die,

thats the fun of it.

so why not live and breath while you can.

dont focuss on the negativity

dont focus on the past

dont focus on the future

but focus on right now.

we dont live to die,

we live to live.
