Forever: Blessing or Curse

To live another day,
Is it a blessing or a curse?
To live amongst the living,
Or watch the loved die away?

Are you to live to gain knowledge?
Or are you to slowly grow mad?
Are you to spread the word to people?
Or are you to be seen as a fool?

To wish to live forever,
May it be so bitter sweet.
Are you to live another day?
Or be cursed by a thousand lifetimes...
