Come Fortune, and tell my story to me.
Am I comedic, or doomed to tragedy?
In my end will I be sadly buried?
Or in the end with happieness be married?

Many who were born and bred in sorrow
Have, braving bitter cold, found warm tomorrow.
Many who were graced with lives of leisure
Remain forgotten, rotted in their pleasure.

So if this life is but a theatre's stage,
Why should my lines be filled with only rage?
For Fortune's friendly smiles and darkest frowns
May fall upon me, causing ups and downs

But not untill my bell has fully tolled
Can Fortune know what story must be told.
More Shakespeare inspired stuff. This is almost a sonnet I think. Mutt sonnet I think I'll call it. ;)

You had me at "Come Fortune" :o I really really like this:clap:, misery supposedly loves company after all. Now it may just be me but this didn't seem to be much 'death' orientated...:shrug:
