Life is Too Short

by Weeping Wolf   Nov 17, 2005


"Why would you want to commit suicide
If life is too short already?"
-from a friend

15 years, Tuesday Afternoon
tired from so much swimming
and we back where we started
but now hes got something to say.

Words he said as just a kid
How so wise when so young
but maybe hes just too naive
though of course aren't we all
when i can't stop loving his smile.

So stop wasting your time
thinking about ways of dying
when life's too short already
you only got 100 years or less
One day all souls will understand
so don't break this hour glass
when its still shedding the sand.

Even if i was raised from hypocrites
at least this bottle in my fist
is just water..i think.
He says he'll never get drunk
because of the shame of a father
But i can never stay sober
just thinking of those lying eyes.

So stop wasting all your time
thinking about ways of dying
when life's too short already
you only got 100 years or less
One day all souls will understand
so don't break this hour glass
when its still shedding the sand.

    I'd like to echo your message with a line from the Perfect Circle song "the outsider": "what's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die". This message and yours are similar and so true. People who truly live life to the fullest always say how we have such little time to do everything, there is so much out there in the world we don't even have a clue about. Yet suicidal drama queens want so much to end their life short because they are clueless about how wonderful a place the world is. Awesome poem, great message!
