I would love to write a master piece
Though I know my need to best it
Would drive me to drink

Gain some knowledge and grow wiser
Even if it meant my perspectives would change

Defend something I believe in
Even if only for the principle of the thing

Witness something beautiful
Even though I know all beauty fades

Love another unimaginably so
Knowing that person would slip away

To have that luster for life
No matter the price
Regardless of how much things change

Because at least in the end
I could say I lived
And I didn't miss a thing

At least I could say
I lived life to the fullest
Before I slipped away
As always comments are welcome.
