How to measure a life, measure 
The time you have lived 
Instead of the time you have 
Been alive. 

How do you judge that life, judge
The success without comparison
To another’s, unbiased thoughts 
Signing the bottom line. 

How do you measure a life, 
A lifetime of time passing
Without waves shaping any rocks 
Or gravel left to others. 

How do you judge that life
Without scale and sense,
Without any signs of ever having
Been alive.
