we are told to live every moment
like it is our last.
it's a nice idea, really,
but most of us try to just
get through the day,
to continue getting up
each morning, and
remind ourselves
to keep breathing.
there are but few moments
we live in, and for.
life is a ******* mess,
it is chaos and tragedy
and although it has
its beauty and its blessings
it is most of all
utterly unfair
and entirely pointless.
"you only live once",
they say.
yes;
and thank the gods for that.
