While I Can
In few years,
Few days,
Few hours,
Few minutes,
Few seconds.
I might close
my eyes.
I might lose
my breath.
I might lose
everything.
I might not
see the world.
I might not
see my friends.
I might end
my bloodline.
Starting now,
I will seize
each day.
I will live,
I will learn,
I will write
While I can.
As if it's my last.
