If death knocks on your door; invite it in.
Don't fight it off; you won't win.
Welcome it as you would welcome your kin.
In this ocean known as life, we all drown or swim.
Only some of us get eaten by sharks...
They sneak up and pull us into the dark.
We're gone too soon
With no chance to say goodbye.
The sharks always succeed
Although we may try.
We'll kick
and scream
and flail about
They'll bring us down; without doubt.
When death comes knocking
Don't bother locking.
Let it in, sit down to chat
And in doing that...
You'll solve the great mystery
No one has lived to unravel.
Where do we go?
What do we see?
Do we ever come back?
Or stay eternally?
If a shark takes me; so be it.
Drowning is unpleasant, too.
I do love mysteries, though
And one day I'll solve this one
Just as you'll all do.
