Life, Death, and Balance
May 25, 2016
I am life.
the being that keeps you moving.
I'll put a stop to the reaper with his scythe,
So that I can make everything soothing.
I am death.
I will make you perish in an instant.
I am your last breath,
Live your life to the fullest now as i am not so distant.
I am balance.
I decide your fate.
Is it too early for your final chance?
Or is it already too late?
No matter what way you see us in the end,
We all represent the inevitable my friend.

I was inspired by two things to be honest. I was first inspired by people in our society who chose not to live life happily or to the fullest and struggle to live/survive. The other inspiration came from the game: Pokemon X and Y in which there are three Pokemon (Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde) which represent life, death, and balance.
