Live Life

by Simply Trying   May 20, 2009


I dare you
Dare you to live your life
Not for fame, fortune, or personal gain
But to save yourself
save yourself from sadness,
From personal destruction,
Live it for redemption

I dare you
Dare you to live your life
Not to keep things the same
But to make a difference
To try and do everything you can
For others
Because a life lived for others
Is a life that can not end

And so I dare you
Dare you once more
As a friend,
I dare you
To live your life for others
So others can live it for you
Because if you refuse
Refuse to live for others
Then sadly my friend
You have no life

    I think you touched on an important issue in todays modern society we are brought up to be so selfish and desensitised, and I think you're so right a life dedicated to others is one worth living.
    Loved it!
