Merely In Existance
Waiting to die is not living.
I’m merely here simply existing
To live is to love be happy and free
To set out and conquer who I want to be
Waiting to die is not living
I’m merely here simply existing
Life is to be lived to the fullest with no regrets
To do all the things I’ve ever dreamed of but haven’t done yet
Waiting to die is not living
I’m merely here simply existing
Time is of the essence and we must live in the presence
So if I’m given the choice of dying or living or just simply existing
I choose life and I’m going to live it everyday as if it was my last
Never looking back or regretful about the past
Life… I’m ready to live it I no longer want to be here just in existence
I want to use what time in this life that I’ve been given to stop waiting to die
And get busy living
