The Words Of A Poet

Limited Time

Our time here is limited.I'm always told don't take things for granted you never know when you'll lose it,that includes yourself.I never listened,I didn't feel like I took anything for granted.If I did something spectacular that day then great if not then oh well.Then it hit me.

I am prone to concussions,a majority of you know this.So let's take a trip down memory lane,no pun intended,let's go back a few months.I was at a friends house and we were rough housing.No big deal,right?Well I had went to give said person a nuggie and they tickled me.Normal reaction for me was to jerk back,that included my head.I ended up hitting my head on a wall,I didn't think it was a hard hit but I guess it was.I laid down and covered my head.I had a feeling I got another concussion.I closed my eyes and took a few deep breaths.I thought I had fallen asleep,but I guess I didn't.I was awake the whole time but my brain wasn't,I was just walking through the motions.I was soon taken to the ER for tests and a CT scan.Through this whole thing I was "sleeping".When I finally actually fell asleep I woke up in the ER.I was more confused then ever.The doc came back with the results.Temporary amnesia,no concussion or sign of one.That day I lost everything,ever person I ever loved or cared for was just some figure to me.I lost touch with the world.Looking back at it I'm grateful it wasn't something more serious.

Now it all makes sense to me.We get told don't take your life for granted,and what do we do?Take it for granted.I believe we don't understand how valuable our life is till something traumatic happens.Weather it be a family member dying or a near death experience.Everything we do today will only happen once.After today we can never get today back.**Insert date here** only happens today.So live today like it's your last.Make something out of it.Weather it be trying out for a sports team or its traveling the world.Just make every second count.You never know when your clock will run out.
