One Life Is All You Have

So much hurt.
Too much pain.
Unanswered questions
One person to blame.
Why me?
Why me family?
Forcing myself to see what was staring back. 
Life’s too short.
To loosen up the slack.
Gotta hold on tight.
Never let go of that grip.
It’ll fade away
As you watch your heart rip.
Love unconditionally.
Take nothing for granted.
Live life to the fullest.
Think of everyday as your last.
You’ll see how pleasantly.
Instead of how quickly.
Your one life will pass.
