My Life

Life is a roller coaster it has it's ups and downs but at the end I'm smiling.
No time for crying.
Everyday we are dying.
Everyday we get closer, I'm not lying.
A young man but with a heart of a lion.
I stared death in the eyes.
I told him I'm soul surfing and I wont fall of this tide.
Im not falling even if my hands are tied.
I'm good, I only need my shadow by my side.
And that thing that beats inside.
Death is always on my behind.
But when I'm looking for him?
He is no where to be found, i guess he likes to hide-Mario Perez
