This isn’t the end

one hour is not enough

this life is not enough

I need more time

to LIVE

I never want to stop living

so much to experience

so many places to go

so many feelings to feel.

(one hour is not enough)

I want more time

not because I wasted my life

because I haven't wasted my life

so I know

just how beautiful life is.

(one hour is not enough)

There is so much to live for...

and yet I have to die

even though I see nothing good

to come from it.

but maybe that's the point.

maybe this blindness

can allow for more

bliss.

maybe we are like a butterfly

born as a caripillar

to die and be reborn as something beautiful.

or like a flower

basking in the sunshine of life

and dying with the waking of winter.

but as the petals sink into the earth

new life sprouts from fresh soil.

so now

im not shaking

im dancing

hopeful

that

maybe

this life

this awe-filled life

is just

the beginning.

(one hour is all i need)
