Alive

Please, don’t cry over the fact that I’m gone,

Instead, find your purpose, learn where you belong.

You think I’m dead but I’m more alive than ever,

In your memories I’ll die – never.


Please don’t fret over how this is a tragedy,

For this is how life is, honey.

There is no such thing as a fixed time to die,

Strangely, no one is too young to say goodbye.


Today may be within your grasp,

Yet tomorrow remains uncertain,

So why chase after things that make no sense.


We spend our life in monotonous grind,

To constantly strive and achieve.

But achievements are bound to be left behind,

Money, success, fame and grades can’t be taken to your grave.

Still, don’t be dejected – be brave, be brave.


I’m dead but you are dying too, Everyday.

So make the most out of things while you stay,

In this world as its esteemed guest,

Till you return to your forever nest.


Tell your parents you love them, and mean every word you say,

Hold your friends close, for as long as you may.

Smile and light up the world, make it a better place.

So, if tomorrow you were to die,

You could say that you have made the best out of your life.
