I have come to the door so many times
and placed my finger on its latch
gripped it tight and then… stopped…
terrified of what’s on the other side
What’s on the other side?
would be good, or would it be bad?
would it be bliss or would it be sorrow?
I could only guess
Not knowing what lies beyond
I could never gather up the courage
to open this mysterious door
and enter through to explore
But now, after all these years
I am finally ready to open the door
no longer am I afraid of what lies beyond
this gateway that’s been my tormentor
But before I go, I must bid farewell
for this is a one-way door
everyone who’s ever walked through it
has never been seen, nevermore
for this is a one-way door and death is its name
I want to watch the sunrise from atop Sigiriya
I want to feel the warmth of the ****** sun rays
I want to stare at the sun until my eyes start to burn
but first I have to live

I want to swim in the turquoise blue ocean
I want to joke with the dolphins as I swim with them
I want to ride the friendly turtle’s thirteen moons
but first I have to live

I want to fly high with the majestic eagle
I want to soar up above the highest mountain peek
I want to get a birds eye view of the world below
but first I have to live

There are so many things I want to do
so many places I want to go
but first I have to live
so bring me back to life

— The End —
