Living On Borrowed Time
Living life
In a
Vacuum, to gaze at the warnings
In front of you but
Not adhering to them
Going on dates and playing the field
Overlooking the signs,
Never expecting it to happen to you
But you are not immune
Owning up to being ignorant does not
Rule you out as a
Receiver or carrier
Of the dreaded disease…
When taking liberties instead of precautions
Eventually you’ll end up
Dead or living with regret…
The worst part
Is that it can be prevented, even
Maintained, in the
End it’s your choice, please choose wisely, decide today…
