Analysis of To Ignore Or Befriend
If you live your life correctly,
death walks close by your side
To constantly remind you,
that time’s not on your side
Your choice on how to handle,
to ignore or then befriend
Will change your life completely
—as each day begins again
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)
