Of course I'm scared of death.
What fool wouldn't be?
wanting to die,
does not negate fear.

Of course I'm scared of death.
The uncertain,
The unknown,
The absoluteness.

Of course  I'm scared of death.
Even with a noose around my neck.
If it will be painless,
or excruciating dread.

Of course I'm scared of death,
so i back down tentatively.
Some may call that cowardly,
but to that I am okay.
