Alive

So many days of my life ,wasted away.
To have them all back,all the riches i'd pay.
For the clock of what's life,turns only one way.
And 24 hours arent much,to live in one day.
So I strive to enjoy what little time I have left here.
Too show as much love,to those people that I hold dear.
For it's them that keep my internal clock ticking.
Them that keep me "ALIVE" and kicking.
For what's being alive, without good friends to share in it.
Seem's to me there'd be emptiness, like a bottomless pit.
So onward I trudge along the hourglass of time.
Hoping for that day,where a few minutes I may shine.
And give unto others that which was bestowed upon me.
To be alive and happy,and have set my evil's free.
