As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn&#039;t supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You&#039;ll have your heart broken and you&#039;ll break others&#039; hearts. You&#039;ll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you&#039;ll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you&#039;ve never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone&#039;s hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don&#039;t be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.<br /> - Unknown

The birds flew high above me in the clear blue sky
I saw them first out of the corner of my eye.
Without a care in the world they flew over my head
I was beginning to feel like I was dead.
Something wrong there had to be
It was like I vanished in the deep blue sea.

Everyone around me just kept going through life
It's like I was murdered with a knife.
Nobody ever wondered what happened to me
It was like I vanished in the deep blue sea.

No one seemed to notice I wasn't ever there
But then again I guess they wouldn't even care.
It was as easy to them as one, two, and three
It was like I vanished in the deep blue sea.

Everything around me, including people I used to know, seemed to flow together
And I began to feel like a black sheep in stormy weather.
It felt very strange everyone used to know me as their go to guy
Now it feels like I curled up in a ball and died.
Moving on from what I used to be
But then again maybe I did vanish in the deep, blue sea.
