I close my eyes a little while
While the sun Shined so bright
But now my eyes are wide open
And  all I see is darkness and night

I thought I'll save my precious soul
From all the pain there is in life
I thought I'll I be at peace and whole
But how can I avoid the strife

Life is too short not to take a risk
Saving it for nothing is a stupid thing
I choose  preserve my life  or not
Still it will be gone someday and soon

I hear the rhythm of my heart
But how can I dance to this tune
Its a reminder the clock is ticking
An awakening  to truly live
That moment you hear someone young passed away.the sting of death.....
