Death

Everyone is scared of Death.

I'm petrified of Death.

But am I scared to die?

No,

no, I am not. I welcome the end with open arms.

 

At night I shudder under my blanket

dreaming of the paths that Death leaves

in its wake.

In the darkness of my room with thunderstorms inside my head,

I fear the hole that is left

after Death has struck.

I wonder what,

who, might come out of it:

**Depression, Mourning, Sorrow, Confusion, Emptiness,

and even more Death.**

 

I miss the good old days

when Life could be as easy as

going to bed at night worrying

about what Pokemon version to get,

how to get the latest game console,

what skill in basketball I need to improve in,

when my parents will find out I had an infraction,

how the test next day will go.

 

But it's funny, Life,

the more you grow in it

the more you approach Death.

"Years from now, I hope we'll still be in each others lives"

I truly wish for this.
