Truth has many shades. It's not a matter of black and white, but many grays.

Dark and deadly,

Soft and sharp,

He comes when you are least ready.

And no escape's possible, no matter who you are.

He is a spectral being,

And his presence is all you dread.

When he claims you, you have no idea what you're seeing,

Because one moment you're living, Next you're dead.

Then you become a subject,

And you stand in line,

And you wait... What did you expect?

And god looks through your actions, your mind,

And he tells you if you are welcomed home in glory,

or if you deserve punishment because your life is a wicked story.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
