To Heaven or Hell?

People scare you.
People dare you.
People who think,
They know everything.
The experienced,
The seasoned,
They know everything!

She’s been there
And done that.
So she proclaims,
The same stage I will be.
Standing where she’d been,
“You’ll see!”

Scared the day lights out of me.
How could she?
Was that a blessing,
Or a curse?
What she foresaw was adverse!

Is my life leading that way?
The path she walked,
That led her astray?
I wouldn’t want to live that way!

People know how things go?
People see what lies ahead for me?

What am I to believe?
My heart that denies,
I’ll face the same lies,
That she breasted.
Her life was wasted!

What am I to believe?
Her loss of faith,
In a woman’s fate?

People scare you.
People dare you.
People who think,
They know everything.
I say, stop preaching!
Life has its own way of teaching.
What was yours needn’t be mine,
For each there’s a different destiny’s design.
For good or for worse,
Time will tell.
My deeds shall see me
To Heaven or Hell!
