    live only once

    This is not the draft copy of my life
    I only have one shot to get this right
    If I don't only I will suffer the cost
    Time will keep racing by and I am the only one who can make my time worth anything
    I need to spend it smarter
    I carn't put it into storage and be reunited when I have used up all I had
    There is no map I need to follow
    No guide to lead my way
    No secret to successful living
    I live life only my way
    I choose the paths that I will follow
    No option to exchange
    I'm free to make my own decisions
    Some good, some small mistakes
    No access to another life
    No way to take it back
    You live this life only once
    So strive for the things you lack

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
