Life and Death? The Same or Different?

I'd pretend I am normal.
I'd announce myself insane.
I'd say a good six years.
Have went down the drain.
Life is so pretentious.
And so hypocritical.
To claim its rising fame.
I have drawn up the conclusion.
That the similarity of life and death.
Is in a profound manner.
Exactly the same.
Now you're wondering why.
I say such a thing.
You are questioning my methods.
They are both so fascinating to the human eye.
They both cause us to consume our minds.
Life pains.
Death sorrows.
They are no different.
From today or tomorrow.
Just because you are living does not mean you're alive.
And just because you are dead does not mean you aren't living.
It's all somewhat confusing.
And may seem overwhelming at times.
There are some whom worship and praise for their lives.
And there are others who curse the lord's name in vein.
For their life that remains.
The whole idea is corrupt.
And the idea that we feed on a difference.
Is blind stupidity on our part.
Life isn't meaningless.
Nor death.
In all reality the idea to separate.
Is merely a comfort zone.
We've set in stone.
To convince ourselves.
That all is well.
My lecture to whomever reads.
May or may not ring true.
I do not burden or pity you to pursue.
A life beyond death.
And a death beyond life.
What we have come to know.
Seems all so familiar.
To most.
Seek answers beyond yourself.
And whatever the case may be.
Your faith is never failing.
And your heart speaks the truth.
The only person that holds your destiny.
Is you.
And you alone.
You know yourself better than anyone else.
And just because you feel helpless.
Doesn't always mean you need help.
And just because you think a certain way.
Doesn't mean you are the outcast looking in.
If anything you are extraordinary.
Others don't know how to act.
They preach opinions.
Instead of a clear stated fact.
Sure life has a purpose.
Though death does too.
The commonality in the matter.
Is they share so much.
That there's no room to lack.
It's all quite interesting.
To read into.
There's so little time.
To conclude my theory.
Just all seems a bit eerie.
Goosebumps surround my body.
Just thinking up such a thought.
That I cannot control the life that I have got.
Much less a life beyond death.
