#YOWO


You label it indescribable 

a canyon you're driving by

a lake or a river 

the expansion of the sky

 

you believe nobody could understand 

the tradgedy and disaster

you experienced first hand

 

but maybe you could try

to share some of your deepest thoughts 

what its like to live your life before you die 

 

because time is quite untimely 

and feelings get misunderstood

leaving your written word voiceless

wont do any good 

 

so write how it felt to look into her eyes

figure out why there are still things about you

that you try to disguise

 

and when you're mad

when they called you a jerk or a dunce

go head, write it down

you only write once
