So life, it has come to this,
You
stand alone and the walls around you are falling,
Yet you stand and do not
move.
I’m not sure whether you are calm or shell shocked,
all I know that
you’ll be dead soon.
But halt my brother,
heed life’s
call,
live and die this day,
live and die some more.
For yet you have not seen
what is still to come,
and have not felt what you should.
For life hasn’t yet
made you what you are destined to be;
not yet, but everyday a lil’ more.
So many faces you haven’t seen yet,
and so
many you shall see no more;
but not before you have seen some more,
come brother,
live some more.
For every life that goes,
one
more is born;
if incomplete you go,
then an incomplete man shall be born.
You ask me why I bother,
but brother I’m you;
I’m the spark trying to stop the darkness from engulfing you.
For every tear today,
remember
the 5 smiles that have been,
and the ten more that you will never see,
all you
need to do is breathe.
Life passes with every breath,
this too shall pass,
brother, just breathe.
I promise you, a day will come,
I’ll ask no more of you;
but that day is not today,
today you must live.
