I have one life, one only.
I will not spend it wisely.
For I am not wise, but curious.
I will not give it all I've got.
For I have only so much for the taking.
I will hold back something.
For I want at least my virtues intact, alive.
I will waste precious moments.
For I will never let an opportunity displace my dreams.
I will have greed where I need heart.
For I will feed myself first, I can only feel enough pain for one.
I will bleed when I should triumph.
I have blood, not courage.
How human you are. And you say you are not wise; you are wise enough to describe the normal human condition. Thank you.
