Another Commentary on Life

Sometimes our lives change not for the better and we are forced to turn the corner-- For, if we stay the same we are denying reality. Fantasy may get you through the night but the sun rises on another day. To dwell in the past is to waste the present which soon becomes the future-- and what have you gained? We must not wait for opportunity, we must MAKE it: create an illusion that is real, rejoin the dance. We could skulk in the shadows, criticizing everyone else for their actions instead of living. But what a wasted life that would be! Forgive my masked dance if you find it offensive-- I cannot be what you want always but I must FOREVER be myself!
