Coming of age

How to be joyful
when providence wants to destroy us?
shall we leave it to fate?
or take the horrorifying element of life
into our own
hands?
Either way,
we are about to be slapped in the face by
reality-
It will stick it's tounge out at us;
It will wag it in our faces,
forcing us to question:
Will I live as somebody
or die as nobody?
Shall I risk drowning to get somewhere,
or let the cuurent carry me nowhere?
Timneisrunningout!
Make the choice.
