Very different from my usual. I wrote it for a contest on another website and won. Enjoy.
Well I'm here to tell you,
How to live,
When everything starts to turn to shit,
And you're ready to give.

Go ahead and forget to breath,
Dance your way to hell and back,
I bet you, it won't be too bad,
If you don't give up on your luck.

Wipe the tears away,
Try to smile,
Even if it's fake.
Cause if you smile,
It makes the world seem alright,
If you smile, Trust me,
You can sleep through another day
And laugh through another breathless night.

Go ahead,
Get drunk, Get high,
Give it a try,
I promise you won't regret,
Living with a life debt.
Even if all you can think is why,
Light your face with a grin,
And forget about all your sins.

Then,
Try this:
Run a mile,
Lose yourself in the wind,
Dance in the rain,
Let it drench you to your skin,
Live a life,
Where you don't hold back,
And realize life isn't so dim.

Now I'm here to tell you why,
Why you shouldn't give in,
Why there's more to life,
Than meets the eye.
Your journey's so close to done,
So why give up if you've almost won?
Your so damn close to life's end,
So why not race around the next bend?

Life's too short,
And yeah it's not always fun,
But if you stop breathing,
And give it a chance,
You'll realize,
"Life may not be the party we hoped for,
But while we're here we should dance."
