Carpe Diem, Damn!

now is not the time to be serious.
now is not the time to be weak.
i must pull myself together.
i am not going to weep!

now is not the time to compromise.
now is not the time to empathize.
i must put a smile on my face.
i am not going to cave!

i can not think about tomorrow.
i can not handle the future.
i have to hold on to my illusions.
carpe diem, damn!
carpe diem, damn!
i will seize this day even if it kills me.

now is not the time to make plans.
now is not the time to make amends.
i must be strong.
i do not care who is right or wrong!

now is not the time to analyze.
now is not the time to tear apart my heart.
i must be smart.
i do not want to go back to the start!

i can not dream of happily ever afters.
i am unable to see ahead.
i am here and it is now.
carpe diem, damn!
carpe diem, damn!
i am going to make the best of this day even if i am dying inside.

i will seize the day.
damn, i am crying again!
