When Death Knocks
When Death Knocks
You embrace everything
With a pinch of salt.
You regret your life
Coming to a halt.
Sleepless nights
You spend
On things you
Could have done,
But chose to ignore
And waited for the next turn.
You didn't know
It will never come.
Now, you are in a junction.
You want to explore
But you are afraid.
You are too comfortable
In your cozy bed.
Let me tell you one thing.
Stop and listen!
You are in this junction
Because you didn't let
Things happen.
Go with the flow.
You never know
What the next turn is all about.
Be silent or shout,
The choice is yours.
But do remember,
You can't blame others
Or say, "Only if..."
When death knocks at the door.
You were given the choice long ago.
