THIS IS IT

THIS IS IT

What does it mean, when they say;

To make do

Is it maintaining, existing

Just muddling through?

I don't want to maintain

I don't want to survive

Hold my head above water

Just to say; I'm alive!

THIS IS IT! This is life!

But there has to be more

More breath in my living

Than I've known before

Life isn't measuredĀ 

By the breathes that we take

But the life in our living

While we're still wide awake

Don't let living, become existing

Don't just get by from day to day

Life has to mean more

Than living this way

What does it mean;

When they say to make do?

Well, if you don't expect much in this life~

How can life disappoint you?
