A difficult truth to fully conceive
One day, they leave
Ominous and foreboding, it looms
Uninvited, it settles into the room
Like the distant roar of a thousand bees
Like a hair-raising autumn breeze
Psst, listen, despite what you wish to believe
One day, they leave
It will still take you by surprise
When that fateful day arrives
I thought we had more time, you’ll scream
Beg and plead to be released from this hellish dream
What did I do wrong? Are you mad at me?
Until it dawns that life gives no guarantee
When life whispers back, and nothing is more humbling,
A gentle reminder, I don’t owe you anything

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
