Do not let death be your downfall
Do not let death be your downfall.
Many ride down the brazen path of mortality, foolish and oblivious,
never truly aware of themselves
or understand what it is to say they exist.
Many wallow within themselves, too enclasped in their own thoughts to face the dawning of the day, and reality is a fallacy, understanding should lie within,
yet all that is found is shadow.
But it is few - few - who truly know themselves and their world. Do not be an extreme - seek to know,
to understand and experience,
and experience that within yourself
- insulation only after tribulation -
and then completion rides on its stallion, clear and certain.
Bear the cross of your mortality on your chest but no other.
This is your world - no other.
Do not let death be your downfall
Let it be the motivator to your resilience, and in that resilience,
exist.
