Living

Have you ever danced in the rain
And played in the puddles
Just to give your face a reason,
Besides your tears, to be wet?

Have you ever taken a deep breath
Felt the oxygen, powerful in your lungs,
The blood pumping in your veins
Knowing this is the feeling of living?

I bet you've tried to count the stars
Knowing it was futile
But doing so anyway
Cause trying is only half the fun?
While never knowing completes it?!

I bet you've put away your childish things
Saying you're to old
But longing for them when things go wrong
Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.
Always keep that in mind.

I bet you've settled for less than you deserve
Cause you think it's more
Don't you know you're always worth it??
And when one door closes, climb out the window,
Into the next room.
It may not be where you expected to be
But it's exactly where you belong
