Death and Taxes

It‘s said there’s only

two things

certain in our lives

death

and

taxes

How can we be certain of death

until the day we are dead?

How do we know that we’ll die

if we are not dead yet?

I am alive

I smile in the face

of adversity

it’s only a push

to get me further along the way

Sure, taxes may

still be a certain plight

But death,

does not have to be certain

for me

What we know is that

life

is indeed a certain thing

    It’s alright

    It’s fine

    It’s 11:11

    the luckiest minute

    of my life

    So don’t waste it

    Hold on for just a minute

    and remind

    yourself you are

    alright

    Why did you have to hurt us?

    Again?

    Again?

    ‘Cause when I was young

    there was a chance

    a chance

    to be free

    a chance to see a woman be

    something new and

    different

    I have a plan

    I am

    I am

    I’m running so fast

    going nowhere

    just going

    forever

    I won’t stop to catch my breath

    I won’t stop for life or death

    I’ll keep going

    going

    going
