The Fast Lane

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 breath 
And I make sure that I do not trip
I close my eyes and open them quickly 
Out of nowhere 
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
