"All people have to die, but NOT every person has to live"


I know what I believe inside,
So why do I not follow my practices outside?
Because insides and outsides are opposite,
different, unable to coexist.

Our beliefs can be expressed,
let in, out, occasionally.
As when a door is opened,
in a house.
The furniture,
beautiful, pristine, unique.
As our beliefs are in our mind.

But what happens when we put our beliefs,
our belongings, outside?
They start perfectly fine,
strong, sturdy, able to withstand.
At first.

They fade fast, tarnishing, dying.

I hope that when people read this, they turn their heads to the side and read it again. By thinking and interpreting it in their own words, as I hope readers do, they will get more out of what I wrote then what I could ever write in this section... :)
