i never thought i would say this
and the pessimist in me is screaming
but
"living life to the fullest"
isn't such a bad idea
the way i think about it
we all only have so much time
to sleep and eat and talk and read and write
time to do countless things
and every step we take
our time
grows less
now don't confuse this ramble with nihilism
or hopelessness of any sort
because somehow
i happen to have some hope
but either way
our time is slowly running out
so why not live with no regrets?
why not smile when you want to?
laugh when you need to?
why not say what you mean?
why don't we live life without looking back?
yeah there are times I regret
but the majority of them
are times that I was wasting my life away
times when all i did was cry
and scream
and ask the world why it was so cruel
not to say that behavior like that is wrong
we all need times to mope
but I made it my entire life
and life is for living
not waiting
so what I'm trying to say is
don't get caught up in pain
as it will only choke you
move forward to the future
as it will set you free
(sometimes my ramblings are senseless, maybe it is because there is still light outside, maybe it must be dark and quiet for my thoughts to make sense)
