Truth

“You don't live every day, so why not live today?” Said the boy to the woman who lives just to pay. Pay her bills, pay her loans, and her rent. Until what's left is just barely a cent. We forget so fast, we were so young. Youth doesn't last, trying to go back to where I came from. Where am I, where is the rewind? I am looking for something that I just can't find. Go back to 18 and start again. Maybe if we go back our stories will have a different end. But then again not only will the ends change. Soon enough our whole life would rearrange. So really we must just hold onto our youth And remember that bills aren't the only truth.
