&quot;Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible. &quot; ~ Cadet Maxim<br /> that&#039;s an awesome quote learn it, love it, live by it.

I have only one breath,
How can I let people know I am here,
Where does everyone go after life,
Do they all just disappear?

Do they just become the title on the stone,
Does anyone notice they are gone,
Do all the memories fade,
Does anyone wonder what went wrong?

Does their heart beat in their chest,
When they take a deep breath of air,
Do they remember what life is like,
Do they cry out in despair?

Do they miss their life,
And all they left behind,
Are they still watching,
Can they still think with a dead mind?

I find myself wondering a lot about certain things. This is one of those things you have to experience yourself, I guess. I mean how interesting would life be if everything was answered, nothing left unsaid? :D hope you enjoyed!
