#YOWO (you only write once)...

Location

A boy, innocent and afraid,

lost in the dark of his own room,

no one coming to his aid,

planning out his own doom.

 

You only write once before it becomes real

You only write once before some one finds what you wrote

You only write once when you tell how you feel

You only write once when your friend gives you their cote.

 

A girl, young and reckless,

pretty and happy as can be,

partied and made the biggest mess,

now she's impassive, crashed into a tree.

 

You only write once, "i luv u! ;)P"

You only write once before you look up

You only write once when that rogue truck hits you

You only write once before your time is up.

 

An adult, lacking in one aspect,

a solitary soul, seeking non-traditional love,

discriminated upon, searching for respect,

ubiquitous pain pent up in a shove.

 

You only write once to your one and only,

You only write once and spill the pain,

You only write once to feel less lonely,

You only write once and find beauty in the rain.

 

You only write once,... yet you make a difference in the world.
