Live Like You're Dying

"Live like you're dying"
What a great phrase to live by
I try,
But it just doesn't work
Things come up,
Life gets complicated,
Stuff gets expensive
But think,
If everyone lived like that,
People wouldn't get depressed...as badly
Or at least,
Things wouldn't trigger so soon
It's a very interesting concept
People wouldn't be heartbroken
They would move on with their lives,
And live life to the fullest
Instead,
They spend their time doing nothing
Thinking life is over
They don't realize just how much they have to live for
I didn't
And I regret it,
In a way
I still feel that way,
But I know more of what's wrong with me
I've accepted it
I'm no longer in denial
It's getting easier to talk about,
And I want to inform others of it
The pain it causes,
The misunderstanding you get,
The judgment that falls onto you
People that don't know about this are prejudice
They have their own judgments,
But they don't know what it's like
Most of my friends are that way
And I want to tell them
Tell them they're wrong
That it can happen to anyone
One doesn't choose to be that way
But I'm scared
I know what they'll say
What they'll think
What'll happen
It almost happened
And it almost repeated itself
But if I don't tell,
I'll hold it in
And I won't be staying true to who I am
Who I want to be
And then I won't be living by that quote
The one that I try to abide by,
When possible
"Live like you're dying"
