Just in case you forgot
The average person lives 27,375 days.
Make a chart
And check the boxes.
How many days have you lived so far
And how many days were worth it?
How many days did you lie in bed
Wishing you were perfect?
Or just okay, or just not enough
But you wasted your time
Just thinking.
Another box will be gone today
So when you go to sleep tonight
Remember there’s a box tomorrow
And you need to make it right.
Don’t watch that show
Don’t wallow or weep
Just make this one day count:
Because you don’t know when
The boxes will end
But you know there’s no recount. .
