YOLO

"You only live once" 

Said those kids 

As they told me to risk it

To do something crazy

Haha what a lie

What a small thought for a small mind

Doesn't the world understand?

You live every day 

You live every second

And every moment 

And every time you take a breath

You're living

And it's not a one time thing

When you're at the top of a roller coaster

About to drop 

And you freeze 

And try to breathe 

Because you just lived

A moment that might only happen once

Or when you get a call

You hear your best friend's voice

And it's not the same 

And they tell you

"Horrible accident"

"Totaled car"

And you freeze but then you hear

"Nobody's hurt" 

And you can breathe again

And you're grateful they can live again

And you're grateful you can live some more

Or moments when it's pouring rain

And you and your friends get in your cars

And it won't start

So there you are 

In the pouring rain

Covered in trash bags because nobody has jackets

And those happened to be in your trunk 

And red goes on positive

Black goes on negative

And it's your first time without an adult

And you're afraid of sparks

For the first time in your life 

But when both engines start

And no sparks fly

You breathe 

And laugh 

Because you're wearing a trash bag

In the pouring rain

And somehow still managed to get soaking wet

And you're surrounded by friends

And gained a good story

You're glad you can live

And experience life 

So don't take it for granted 

But don't worry about the bad things or messing up 

Because it's just another part of life

And at the end of the day

Or week 

Or year

You've lived so many times

And so many moments

And you know

You don't only live once
