Death In Thy Eyes

I don’t see death

As where I’m going to go

Or what I’m going to see

I look at death

As being set free

I don’t fear the Grim Reaper

Or shadows in the night

If it’s my time to go

Why put up a fight

To live a life

In a world

Of destruction and pain

I surrender to the darkness

That called my name

It will guide me

To wherever I belong

Through silences there’s peace

Where death was born

To meet it

Is to die

I can’t go back

Therefore

I need not cry

Already deceased

The only thing unknown

Is what I will meet

No longer alive

No longer have a name

No longer have worries

Or thoughts of pain

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The only thing GURANTEED in life is DEATH. To fear the INEVITABLE is the worse kind of DENIAL.

I loved this piece. It's startling in its honesty. It presents a great view of impending doom and the lack of fear felt for it.
