I Lived...

I spend each day as if it were my last.

A brief breath, a hazy grey,

My heart weighs with the weight of sadness.

Accepting life's unpredictability.

The sun may rise, but it will soon set.

I must remember every moment, for time's harsh grasp will not let go.

The ability to go back in time and restart.

Through tears that fall as softly as rain,

Hidden anguish gives me strength.

There is a lesson to be learned in every defeat.

In refrain, a sad symphony.

A tinge of sadness in every grin, a hushed echo in every chuckle

Because life is a never-ending river,

And every farewell is part of the play.

I clutch my loved ones close, in the embrace of the fading light, knowing they'll take flight one day.

And leave me alone in the middle of the night.

But that's the beauty of this brief dance: seizing the moment, taking a chance, cherishing every fleeting gaze, and finding consolation in life's circumstances.

So, when the stars begin to shine, and I seem to fade into a daydream, I'll cherish each second as if it were a dream, because tomorrow's promise is never supreme.

I live every day as if it were my last, since there is a price to pay in endings, but with bravery, I'll find my way,

Through the anguish and chaos.
