Why?

Bay

Why mix love

a force so intimate.

Why settle for little

when you could be infinite.

Why play dumb

when you are really intelligent.

Why settle for little

when you could be infinite.

 

Why play with fire

you're going to get burned.

Why speak so little

when you need to be heard.

Why play with fire

you're going to get burned.

Why teach people

who aren't going to learn.

 

Why live so long

if you aren't living really.

Why chase life

and ignore your feelings.

Why live so long

if you aren't living really.

Why, oh why,

haven't you found your own meaning.

    sounds to me like you've found the true meaning of life and is bringing me back to reality. what a beautifully gentle way of reminding us that life is too short to play with fire. amazing write x
