to save a life

They say I have one wild and terrible life to live, only one.
They ask what I want to do, how I want to live,
What I want to do for the rest of my one life that I've been given.
I'm silent, because there's too much noise inside my head,
There's too many words to say, too much pain.

But my heart is whispering those words over and over again.

"What do you want to do with your life?"

"I want... I want..." To save a life. I WANT TO SAVE A LIFE! That's all I've ever wanted.

And that's the one thing I'm not sure I'll ever be strong enough to do.
Because I've already lost myself.

So I shrug, force a smile, and say nothing.
