Death is among us

it breathes and lingers,

capturing the unexpected

with its alluring fingers

It's so overwhelming

knowing each breath could be your last

The things that get you

are the things from your past

Some don't deserve it,

some crave its touch

Some have decided

that they'd like it very much

To see the light,

to see the dark

To see the one

that bares the mark

Something more powerful

is out there for sure

Everything happens for a reason

I have to concur

Death is among us,

taking the selected

But to take Ethan Khan,

that was just unexpected
I wrote this my junior year in high school after someone I knew died.
