On Borrowed Time

On borrowed time

We are alive

We strive to thrive

before we die

and try to hide

that it's implied

we fear our death

so we regret

we might forget

our mission here

is not too clear

it's not too late

to change our fate

while we still breathe

we must believe

we'll do our best

to pass the test

and be what we

were meant to be

our will is free

do you agree

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I just thought of the name of the play I did in high school called On Borrowed Time and decided to use the title to write a poem...haven't written one in awhile...
