In younger days
and leisured ways,
I took my chance and blew it.
I had energy to burn
with no concern,
I took my chance and blew it.
The sun, eternal timer
clocked me 100 miles an hour.
I didn't stop
I didn't think
I took my chance and blew it.
Now's your turn
to live and learn.
Now I’m leaving with my rot
but wish I had seized that shot
at life, love, fame, and fate.
So go and GO before its late.
Inside you early is time divine
there's plenty to do before YOU resign.

I love the direct style. . and great flow. I can really hear this. But hey, there's always another chance in life. Luck in the contest and all.
