Living at a thousand per hour

Source

 
I know I won't live forever,
that time, like a river, is unleashed,
but in the now, in this present,
I'll dance to the beat of my own guitar.

I'm not going to mourn for what was not,
nor to carry the shadows of a withered yesterday;
my life, a canvas where I will choose,
the vibrant colours I paint with screams.

I will love without measure, with a burning fire,
I will defy fear, I will face it head on,
I will be the storm and I will be the rising sun,
poet of my days, of my latent being.

Because I know that time, like a falling leaf,
does not understand regrets or what hurts;
so here I am, breaking the laws,
living at a thousand per hour without stopping
