[235] How To Live Life

I am
in a Ferris wheel of fire
that winds up all my past mistakes
I watch time go back
to when I was 18 barely meeting eyes
Another spin
that hides all my timid glories
to when I was 15 amidst curious eyes
I fight it out with the
erosion of my slipping mind

I can only exist
if there’s glamour in my living
if I call upon attention on the now
feigning the lack of understanding
jumping out of the Ferris wheel in time
taking the chance and remove the barriers
I place ahead of myself
I can only exist
if there’s living in my bones
if there’s a fire in my breath
if there’s passion in my will
and if I’m foolish in my living
