Dying is one way to leave your thoughts behind… or is it?

Irritating, routine tasking could work until the itch comes to scratch it

Studying something closely that you would like to learn well

Tricks like this may put you ahead but you know time will tell

Right from wrong, black from white, you will need to decide

Act on your instinct, bite the bullet or burrow and hide

Choose wisely your window to watch from or use as a door

Testing new ideas - unafraid - living life to its core

Inside the present or future, in another world or the past

Only you can know the reason you want to do something last

Necessity rules either way as each dither will pass
