rule every moment. sieze every day.

i came across something i posted somewhere a few years ago. then i didn't really know what it meant to face tough times with something to loose. i'd been there before but always on my own and with nothing to loose if i went down in a hail of bullets.

not so much now. and that is making all the difference in the hardest ways.

but i was reading it again this morning and i realized that i still feel the same way and the words mean more now than they ever have.

"Rather let me fail than never to have tried at all,
Come what may,
Nothing short of death will see me cry defeat,
Rule every moment,
Seize every day,
By storm,
By the throat,
With every breath I take,
It's not what you can't do,
It's what they told you you can't do,
So fire your gun into the mouth of doubt,
Let the masses dictate themselves,
I am not theirs neither will I ever be,
They won't crush my hopes,
They won't smash my dreams,
Rule every moment,
Seize every day,
By storm,
By the throat,
With every breath I take,
Not inspired by men without faith,
Not deterred by events that cause the average man to break,
Rule every moment,
Seize every day."

(if you wanna hear it)
