Without any regrets to hold.

Life

by ~doorfromheaven

I’ve seen the world with these two eyes.

A movie played inside my mind.

I’ve traveled the seas in half the time

Without ever leaving home.

I’ve spread my wings but didn’t fly

I’ve touched heaven, but I didn’t die

Had the chance to ask God why

Without ever receiving an answer.

I’ve count the stars and made to ten

Lost track and had to start again.

People laughed, but that’s how we make friends

Without ever knowing their name.

I’ve loved completely and watched them leave

I tell the story—some don’t believe

Let them go or did you flee?

Without seeing what tomorrow brings.

I’ve cried like I would never smile

Walked in darkness for half a mile

Saw the sun in the distance for a small while

Without ever feeling its rays.

I’ve walked the beaches—tasted the breeze

There was a time that I’ve felt free.

Touched my soul and let life be

Without any regrets to hold.

I’ve laughed until I could not breathe

Gasped for air and let people see

There’s so much more inside of me

Without speaking a word.

I’ve held the wonders of the earth

Experienced the beauty since my birth.

Moments made filled with mirth

Without spending a dime.

I’ve faced my fears with a stern face

Let them know that they knew their place.

Life is mine to feel safe

Without worrying what’s beyond the corner.

I’ve seen it all, yet know there’s more

Some steps I’ve relived before.

But I’ll keep walking across the floor

Without knowing where each step falls.

I know the dangers. I know the cost

But I know my life is never lost.

So I’ll keep living with my unknown cause

Without asking for anything in return.

I’ll gain some friends—some memories, too

To myself, I vow to be true.

And I’ll push myself to make it through

Without giving myself the chance to fail.

This is life—it’s what you make it

Take it now, but please don’t break it.

Life does not come with a life time guarantee

It’s yours to take without knowing what it will be.
