Live!

Live your life as you see fit. 
Judgment comes from only you 
Waste no time stressing over it, 
This moment will die, so breathe it through! 

Live your life for you alone 
Don't worry about your Satans or idols 
Your deeds only YOU can condemn or condone 
So live in You; NOW is all you got! 

Your life is a steadily draining well, 
The water fleeting, bitter and sweet. 
Here, there is no magic nor spell, 
So savor your life before it depletes! 

Release these burdens from your head 
Of things that will happen when you are dead. 
Like each moment, you will die 
So forgive yourself of guilt and regret 
Relish in pain and pleasure of flesh 
Wake up! Breathe easy! You are merely alive.
