Your Life is Your Life

"Your life is your life
Don't let it be clubbed
Into dank submission.
Be on the watch
There are ways out.
There is light somewhere
It may not be much light
But it beats the darkness.
Be on the watch
The gods will offer you chances,
Know them
Take them.
You can't beat death
But you can beat death in life.
Sometimes.
And the more you learn to do it,
The more light there will be.
Your life is your life!
Know it while you have it.
Your are marvellous
The gods wait to delight in you."
- Charles Bukowski
