“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 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 delight
In
You.”
- Charles Bukowski
