I Shall Die

I shall die because
the gods gave me too much,
they maybe gave me too much to handle.
I shall be happy ever after,
because that's what you do after you die.

.....

When she was four,
my daughter said that what happens when you die
is that you vomit.
You just simply throw up,
it's your soul going out for a ride.
Another one.

....

At the door you won't find written
emergency
Not even exit.
Just open it.
Outside there are flowers
but you don't have to go there to find them.

........

So be comfortable with what you have,
do not worry with what you've left behind.
Behind does not exist.
Life does.
