Death
i close my eyes
and think
and rethink
death

life
i squeeze my hands
and consider
and reconsider
life

choices
they always say to 
think
and rethink
choices

decisions
im finally ready
to make
and remake my 
decisions

death
i think it will be better
the decision i make
my final choice
life

i cannot decide
but already i know
i must do something
i need to decide

endless pain
does it exisit in the afterlife too

ceaseless peace
can it exist in life also

death
     life

im already dead in life
so can i live in death

life
  death

why isnt there a third choice?

Great question! Perhaps there's always another bunch of choices, toned down by the classic image of a bidimensional sight @.@ you know, entrance/exit, even/odd, etc etc...two opposing ends of a line; people forgot about geometric figures and multidimensional space. @.@ Pain in the afterlife. well, nobody knows if it is a harsher experience @.@ we will know, someday....=) thanks for sharing=D=D

.....Yes why isn't there. Great repetition, love the layout and the subject matter is quite interseting. Life and death, we question this till our last breath, all we can do is give it our best and study for the final test. P.S. thank you for your comment.
