youth

On the left is life’s portal,

and on the right is death’s door.

I’m just one mortal

who is always asking for more.

Just another sign from the heavens.

Just one more wish from the Gods.

Will I ever really seize life and beat the odds?

I know mostly what life holds

so I guess I’ll keep living.

But one door leads to the other

and it’s a gift that will eventually stop giving.

Death’s door is on the right.

And Life’s portal is on the left.

As soon as I make up my mind,

I bet I’ll love what comes next.
