A life is still a life;
a life for a life...
Where there is death,
there will always be death,
no matter the outcome.
Even when you're given the opportunity to change time,
saving someone, you pay a heavy price.
Destiny will not bend the laws of life for you;
it will only replace what you tried to save with something as equally valuable.
Where there is death there will be death;
it just depends on whose life is at risk and who will take the fall for them.
Death is inevitable...
No matter what you change...
It was and will always be here,
as a certain possibility in our lives...
Whether it be us, or someone around us...
Death is not the opposite of life, but a part of it...
And the only way to overcome it,
is to accept and embrace it for what it is.
Death is not meant to be fair;
it's not meant to forgiving in any regard...
It's part of the balance that is shared with life.
Life is not perfect,
and it will never be what we want it to be,
or what we expect from it...
It's simply giving us time...
to prepare for anything as unexpected as, well, death.
It's funny how we would take a bullet for someone we barely know,
or know too well,
but the person in protection is too selfless to allow us the honor...
No, Death will not care whose life it takes...
Nor, how many are sacrificed...
It is just doing it's part, and we scorn it for it.
But, when Life is accompanied with Death,
we are more forgiving, but irony pains us,
revealing the cold reality that is both Life and Death.
Life is not kind;
tis not sweet,
and it knows no warnings to spare us...
It's not that life is also unfair;
it's just we're too foolish to listen...
Life has no mercy other than
what choices it provides us the freedom to choose.
Though, some choices always lead up to the same path
and destiny takes the lead,
there are still choices with freedom of another path
that we never think to make.
To be frank, Destiny is like Death and Life's spoiled child...
It, too, has no mercy,
nor consideration for what it could change or damage.
Using us as it's playthings,
and leading us astray when it gets bored.
Destiny is very tricky;
wanting to cure it's greed
by trading a favor for a value worth equal
to what is asked of it.
It's motto: 'A life for a life' was literal,
and it wasn't planning to change a rule that seemed fair,
but in reality, could be fuelling it's own intent...
The only part left to address would be
the Past does not define our future,
but it helps us learn from it.
It cannot be changed,
and will never allow us to forget what has already been done.
The Past always repeats itself,
so we are reminded of Destiny's hold on the choices
others before us have made...
Where there is Death;
there will always be Death...
Death is not the opposite of Life,
but a part of it...
Life is not kind;
tis not sweet,
and it knows no warnings to spare us...
A life for a life;
not a life after death.
Or a death caused by life.
Though, a life is still a life;
no life is more valuable than a pure life.....

Aruka-chan: Hey, guys! So, I would like to address the meaning behind this one for those who didn't get the title, or for those who know where it's from and have some concerns, don't worry. So, I recently watched Sean(JackSepticeye) play a game called 'The Last Day of June' and his theories and commentary on how the ending was emotionally breathtaking and he loved it. I put my POV and relatable thoughts on the matter in the comments, thinking of how the ending made me feel. I began typing as the words flowed out perfectly from my fingertips to the screen. I've experienced an unfortunate number of deaths around me and the first one that hit me hard was when I was 9, triggering my autism, anxiety, and (later on as I grew) puberty. This lead to me writing out my feelings, which as you can see worked out for me. Well, yeah... I know it's a lot, but that's what wanted to clarify. Also if you want to know the story of game that inspired this piece, then watch Jack's full play through on YouTube, maybe give him a like and subscribe for some more awesome videos. And if you have a PC at home or borrow a friend's, play the game for yourself. Luv ya guys, bye-bye!

PuisiThese are just some things I wrote when I felt like it hit home a bit. Or some that were the result of my inspiration. Please read if you need to clear your head, or if you wish to, that's fine. I'm a mild theorist, so it won't bother me either way...
