Chances I Never Took

People never enjoy the moment they're always in a rush They'd rather keep their heart to themselves than have it crushed If we live by other peoples expectations it'll never be enough I don't want to be on my death bed and think about Chances I never took I've faced bullies, depression, anxiety, Bipolar, and I never showed fear I always try to show love to the people I hold dear Tomorrow may not come, Nothing but death is guaranteed I've been let down by many, so I truly cherish those who are there for me Some hold back, But I'd rather risk it all even if it goes wrong My poetry allows you to see me naked even though I have clothes on Anger is one letter away from danger, so I don't make choices while in that emotion I learned to be smart enough to understand that some things are meant to be left broken Face your fears, Go after what your heart wishes Forget what others think, talk about what your heart misses Show your scars, Love without fear, even if it breaks you it won't kill you You need to put your heart on the line so you can find the real you I hope your tears occur rarely, and your smile is sincere You may aswell make the most of it while you're here Love, care, Enjoy, Laugh, Smile, go on adventures and follow your heart Your life is a picture, but it's up to you to make it your own art People never enjoy the moment they're always in a rush They'd rather keep their heart to themselves than have it crushed If we live by other peoples expectations it'll never be enough I don't want to be on my death bed and think about Chances I never took
