There is a fine line
Between breathing and living
We all take our own risks
We play by our rules
The reckless will say
You must climb higher
Must jump further
Or you are not alive
The cautious will say
Think it over
Once at least, better twice
Or you will not stay alive
But there are only two moments
When you are not alive
When you give up who you are
And when you ignore your soul
What you do before the end
Does not define alive
Alive is not simply what you are
It is what you will become
You are not alive
Because you breathe
But you breathe
Because you are alive
