Born to die,
yet still we try
to live as possible.
So many try to hide,
try to avoid the inevitable.
Can't they see,
their destiny,
lies past the darkness in death?
Yet they seem to be,
against everything life meant.
Life gives pain,
as well as shame,
but still some remain ignorant.
Some live it in disdain,
to try and remain indifferent.
Nothing works,
life has no perks,
It's darkness engulfs everything.
The good, the bad, the nice, the jerks,
they all end up with nothing.
Some die early,
or escape it nearly,
to save death for another day.
Others see it clearly,
that never is there an escape.
In a life so dark there never will be.
I wrote this one several years ago and came across it while going through old notebooks.
