I am not afraid of death.
Death is the final answer,
It may come from the ending of breath,
Or perhaps from succumbing to cancer.
Death is not what I fear,
For it brings with it great peace,
Despite what you commonly hear,
Death provides great release.

What I fear is the everyday routine,
Or life, as we like to say.
The constant struggle as a human being
Takes its toll every day.
I cringe the thought of falling behind,
And being left in the dust.
For life is the game without rewind,
And moving forward is a must.
