Only One Poem by Jade Blaydes

It's funny how only one breath can keep you going,
One simple thought can keep you knowing.
Only one heart powers us all of our lives.
One hurtful word can feel like a million knives,
Cutting so deep, you can't stop the bleeding.
Only one breath left, but I keep on reading.
Only one star left, yet I keep on dreaming,
Only one breath left and with it I'm screaming.
With that one breath, I am alive,
And my last word will bring a tear to your eye.
There are things in life that you will regret,
No matter how bad you want to forget,
That one heartbreak that made you stronger,
With that one tear that kept tugging and hurt longer.
See that one peice of advice that kept you away from danger.
Silly that the one that affected you the most was a stranger.
That one angel that helped you time and time again,
Who warned you, you were going to die but never told you when.
So, you try to make that one change,
Organize your priorities, just try to rearange.
You only have one life, so live it right,
And it could be that you may only have one night.
You only need love for all to be set to rest.
If you died trying, at least you did your best.
