Wasted

Written by Jacob Ibrag

Wasted. Don’t throw away the years that it will take for

you to realize that there aren’t many left. Inhale every second,

especially the ones that make you scared. It’s how we remember

that we’re still breathing, that we aren’t close to being finished.

    I like this a lot. A optimistic perspective towards ageing and death. There is a nice resilience in the voice in the poem. (I hope I interpreted it in the way you intended). Thanks for the wonderful poem.

    This resonates. I’m rebuilding everything… *everything*. This is a good reminder to relax about it as much as possible. Thank you.

    Live everyday as is Jesus is coming back tomorrow, but at the same time, live like He not going to come back in your lifetime.

    We can’t help it for we are unconsciously involved in life.
