Perspective

Life ends too fast
To live in the past
The days are not long enough 
for us to be sad
The sun shines bright
With the flowers and birds, 
which are both such a delight  
I hear the good dye young
But I want to live forever 
I walk outside,
I take a deep breathe 
And I make sure that I do not 
trip
I close my eyes and open them 
quickly 
Out of no where 
I am beyond happy.
A lot can change, when you 
change your perspective 
I am so glad that I never gave 
up
Or else I would of just been 
another poet
That rotted away in her own 
dust
