I Don’t Want to Live Forever

Life is too beautiful,
To want to live forever,
To want to be sure,
And not experience fear
Of the uncertainty,
A journey with an ending
With highs and lows,
The curiosity of the unknown,
The risk of the jump,
The mystery of what’s next
Make life so exciting,
I don’t want to live forever,
I want to make it count,
Embrace every moment
Feel alive then, leave,
No goodbye, no look back,
Make the gods envious,
I don’t want to live forever,
I want to live my best,

Immortality is a myth created to make animate to inanimate. A slow death only comkes to non living things. While life cycle is a slow churn of skin, eyes and organs.
