what is this but a simple word
which so many talk about
yet to say can be rather awkward
and dare not say in high school for fear to stick out

No this word is not bad
nothing anyone should shutter to have
but to waste is devastatingly sad
and many try not to waste, rather salve

This word describes you and me
this word is nothing to lose
yet the time you have to be
so go ahead it is all yours... to use

some people may be mean to you in it
telling you to get one
and you may feel like a misfit
but its best to just have fun

this simple word is only but four
yes four letters long
it is but LIFE nothing more
yet can be extreamly strong
