Live your Life. I meant it. Live it.
Cashin’ out the check
Tryin’ to figure out what’s next
I am only alive
I got no thrive
I am just following a day-to-day
I am dismayed
Why?
This routine has kept me
safe, it gave me a house, it gave me food, it gave me clothes, it gave me comfort,
It gave me… it made me dismayed
Why do I feel this way?
It is because I am on the wrong pathway
This ‘comfortable’ life I livin’ ain’t really comfortable. It has kept me
same-old, same-old
no change, no bein’ bold
This routine gives me the necessity
But it ain’t helpin’ me live happily
If I want to proclaim
that I can honor my name
I need to change
So I can make it to the ballgame

It was just a daily day
Drivin’ near the bay’
A young-man from the bar
Gets in his car
I am on a one way road
Traveling to my abode
His car zooms like he’s playing GTA V past the sign that screams and pleads yield
The last thing I see was his wipers on his windshield
Breaks screeches, the hood of my car violently crazily clashes with his hood
Debris fly out like a bomb had dropped
We collide and I am thrown aside,
Glass shards in my side
Bleedin’ out, I think I’m going to die.
Is this really how it ends?
My vision goes blindly black
And than I wake up
In an ambulance, my life starts flashing before my eyes
I am filled with surprise
For all I see is a life of wasted time,
I was expectin’ to see sublime, but it’s to late, there is no time
As I lay down, my life slowly fadin’ away,
I see that so much of my life had been spent endlessly chasin’ after a paycheck
Not chasin’ after dreams
My life wasn’t life. It was just a routine filled with emptiness; a lie.
And that’s when I realize
I should’ve prioritized
I should’ve been chasin’ reachin’ my dreams
I should’ve been livin’ a life, not this redundant routine
I should’ve been takin’ risks
I should’ve challenged myself
I should’ve asked out the girl with the smooth and black hair that flows like a calm cool river
I should’ve done everything I’ve ever wanted to do. But I didn’t — I didn’t.
My life will end like this? I had never even attempted what I wanted to attempt!
I am filled with regret and just wishin’ that I would’ve done the should’ves.
— — — — — — — — —
And than I wake up.
There are no glass shards in my side. I wasn’t thrown aside. I ain’t dyin’ in an ambulance.
I am layin’ in my bed. Alive.
That’s when I remember the crazy dream I had last night that really wasn’t crazy at all.
I remember the feeling of regret as I thought my life would end unfulfilled like a quill with no arrows.
But I got a second chance.
I have time. I still can turn my wishes into a tangible truth.
I still have time to do everything I’ve ever wanted to do.
So I’m going to do it.
I still have time to turn all of those should’ves into “I will. I can”
So I’m going to do it.
I still have time to chase my dreams
So I’m going to do it and conquer it. I will live a life, I have to. I can no longer live this empty-filled routine.
I will achieve so when I rest on my deathbed, I will pass lively and happily knowing that I have
Chased and reached dreams
Lived a life with gleam
Taked risks
Challenged myself, developed grit
Asked out the girl
And accomplished
— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —
I am layin’ on my deathbed,
Twirlin’ and spinnin’ out of conciousness,
Not regretfully, but happily and lively
And havin’ a smile because I am
Knowin’ that I did
Knowin’ I did
Knowin’ I did
Knowin’ I did
Knowin’ I did
