For every month you sit and watch,
You lose twenty-eight to thirty one days.
Around seven hundred and twenty hours.
At least fourty-three thousand, two hundred minutes
And I wont even bother with seconds.

For every day you watch and wonder,
You lose making a new friend.
Creating for youself a reason to live.
A reason for which time may fly.

For every hour you wonder and dream,
You lose the will to sit and watch.
Inside grows a feeling to DO.
Inside unfurls a butterfly so true.

For every minute you dream and try,
You lose the knowledge of how to be alone.
Kindred spirits around you flitter and glow.
You discover you dont always need to be alone.

For every second you try and do,
You lose the chance to live a while longer.
And now you fret and worry and think.
Now why on earth would I try to do this?

It's simple enough for those who can see.
You stop existing and then start to LIVE!
