before you wish for death,

take note that there are 

 places yet to be explored

spots to be sworn in secrecy and claimed

people you haven't met

souls to be touched

music to be sung at the top of your lungs until

your throat is dry

books to fall in love with

experiences to be felt

activities to be checked of 

and the unknown which remains to be discovered

so why,

why wish to be dead when you still have a lot to do
