My Life In Word

BECAUSE FEAR SAID

one day you’re gonna die without ever having lived

you’d rather hide in a life deprived

of life’s simple pleasures

such as loving freely

jumping ramps and popping wheelies

tracing figure eights

on roller skates

and rolling in the sand

or walking hand-in-hand

with that girl, you know the one

that got away because fear said run

she’s getting, too close

and instead of leaping into her soul

you simply froze

you played it safe, she walked away

what a price to pay

because you chose to stay

in a life deprived

one day you’re gonna die without ever having lived
