I find such comfort in the phrase ‘you only live once’ Because I can’t imagine doing this all again. I never want to witness the leaving of light from someone’s eyes, Never want to be tossed in the endless tide of monotony, Never want to collapse from my hurricane brain, Never want to curl up and wish to be taken to a dark silent eternity. I pray there is no afterlife, No endless time existing. I only want it all to end, To have a complete lack of anything. I don’t want to meet the grim reaper, Or greet God at His pearly gates. I simply wish for nothing, To live once, truly, So I need not feel this way Forevermore.

You Only Live Once
I find such comfort in the phrase ‘you only live once’ Because I can’t imagine doing this all again. I never want to witness the leaving of light from someone’s eyes, Never want to be tossed in the endless tide of monotony, Never want to collapse from my hurricane brain, Never want to curl up and wish to be taken to a dark silent eternity. I pray there is no afterlife, No endless time existing. I only want it all to end, To have a complete lack of anything. I don’t want to meet the grim reaper, Or greet God at His pearly gates. I simply wish for nothing, To live once, truly, So I need not feel this way Forevermore.
