The Burden of Sisyphus
Sisyphus: Punished by Hades in the Underworld for cheating death twice, Sisyphus was made to push a boulder up a mountain until he got the boulder to the top. The boulder was enchanted by Hades to roll back down to the bottom just as it neared the top, and so Sisyphus spent eternity facing a task he could not best.

What separates me
from the one who cheated death?
I climbed to the top.

We All Must Go
My heart is heavy, but I cannot cry. And though I know we all must die; I still find myself asking why. Life comes and life goes, death comes for us all young and old. It doesn't matter who you are, rich, poor, healthy, or not, we all must go; no need for shock
