when you die you don't get a get a game over.
you don't get to restart and try a different way.
there's no cheat code to pass this level.
because the level is never-ending.

when you die, you die for real
so don't do anything stupid, and get killed.
because I'm not saving you.
I'm not giving you more HP.

I'm not cruel, it just makes sense.
I'm not going to be there always,
so you're gonna have to level up on your own.
you can't be under-leveled.

all you have to do is defeat the boss.
if you win, you're free.
strategize and focus.
you only have one shot, it's either do or die.

congratulations.
you won.
you did it by yourself.
it was difficult, but you did it.

now you're the best you can be,
only for you to start all over in a different scenario.
level 2

keep playing this game called life.
you're gonna have to until you die.
