Hell is not a prison, but a room,
And you can walk out anytime you choose.
Perhaps you think your treasure is your tomb;
Perhaps you fear you have too much lose.
Year's end's an opportune time to take stock,
Needing such inducements for reflection,
Embracing change quite literally by the clock
While thumbing through the usual selection.
Yet escaping Hell's a yes or no--
Embrace the life you have or let it go.
And if it's no, then leave, but if it's yes,
Remember that you chose it, more or less.
