Hells Gate

Half way to wisdom
half way to hell
been traveling so long 
can't really tell.
Sometimes in front, 
sometimes behind,
knowing that  wisdom 
is a state in my mine!

I wake every morning
put my mask on.
forgetting my wisdom
whats really wrong?
What am I doing here? 
do not really know?
Don't have to stay  
I could “just go”?

But the hell of it is! 
I don't really care.
life's been joy, laugther,
dreams,love....despair,
“life's mental breath”!
Makes me wait, 
half way to wisdom, 
just outside.... hells gate!
