your life is your life,
don’t let it be clubbed
into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is a 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 often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delightin you.
Charles Bukowski - The laughing heart
