Live for today
live for the next breath
because it might be your last
take a deep one every now and then
breath in the sweet country air
Live for you and no one else
make your own decisions
and clear your own path
It's your life, live it
Go after those impossible dreams
they may come true
take chances make waves
don't let the world pass you by
life is meant to be lived
not watched through a window
It's your life live it
Life is God given
he only gave you one
but always remember
It's your life to live

Hi.
Thank you for this powerful poem!
It is so great!
I like how you reapeated the last line in every stanza a little different every time.
It is a strong statement, and a great flow. (Nearly?) perfectly written!
I hope it doesn't matter too much that I won't applaude now (but when the contest closed)!
Keep on writing - I'm keeping on!
Stop suicide.
