i, exalt.
October 28, 2009
I postpone death by living,
I escape loss by risking.
By loving and forgiving,
I maintain.
I learn by suffering,
By my errors and faults.
I’m stronger after failing,
I exalt.
I live for laughter
And late nights.
I’m thinking of this life, not whatever’s after.
Because I’m young, and that’s all that’s in sight.
Everyone dies, but not everyone gets a chance to live.
I’m happy to say I did.
