What do you think this poem is about?

Rest Of My Life

They say that what doesn't kill me, just makes me stronger,
So two drinks a night, will help me live longer.
Sometimes I stop to think, and I ponder,
Is it just me, or is life the eigth wonder?

If there's no excitement, no adrenaline no thrill,
Are you going to keep quiet, and remain still?
Life isn't a diet, life is cruel,
You can't stay quiet, so let's just break some rules.

Sometimes time seems to freeze, and to slip while you sleep,
Sometimes dreams remain still, and life itself becomes real.
Dreams are the momentum, to our goals,
And sometimes I have to close my eyes, just to open my soul.

Be careful with jumping, because you can break your leg,
What is life worth living, if it's not on the edge?
I'm twisting trying to keep my balance, so just in case I fall,
Written in my tombstone, women weed and alcohol.

Are you happy?
Keep your luck.
Are you lost?
Keep looking up.

    Hi. I have read the poem you asked me to look at and I am very impressed!
    Are you sure your only the age you give? You write as someone much older.
    Anyway you have a talent there, so keep on with the good work.
    All the best. Kevin.

    Is this is a sequel to your other poem? Nevertheless, this is your best one so far, though I will probably keep saying that...
