A Minute

In the first second you're born
10 seconds later you're a child
at 15 you're a teen searching for understanding
at 20 you began your adult life asking
what the hell I'm going to do?

When you're 30 seconds
everyone around seems to be thinking
to procreate more minutes
You aren't so sure

At 40 you began to ask
what did I did with my life?
At 50 your body begins to suffer of everything
At 60 or more if you're lucky you began to enjoy your last seconds

A minute
Is what this life seems to be
One day you're thinking of being someone
at the other the oportunity stepped over you
A minute
Only a few will enjoy
Some will die before they chance begins

Nothing about this seems to be fair
Many of cases have been told
why did they go so early?
why did they don't go when they've done such damage?
Nobody knows the answer

A minute
Is my minute I won't waste
I want to do so many things
I want to be remember
Even if I had the bad luck to be gone before I want
I want to love and be loved
If someone hates me
I don't care I came here to enjoy
I know I sound naive, who cares?
Is my minute and this is the way I want to live it
