Death Knocking

Are you afraid of death?
Death will come for us all.
But for me I feel it is just beyond the next wall.
Should I just give up and fall.
Bottle emotions like a whale causing waves in the ocean.
I try and seek help but I cannot find, is it just my time?
My problems are mine, mine alone, mine to fix on my own.
It is time to face the battle grounds and hope to last another round.
I wonder if I should be here in this place or if I should pack up and make haste.
I keep my feelings all bottled up, now I fear I’m at the rim of my cup.
Should I retreat and run to a place where you cannot seek.
No!
I think I'm going to be strong and keep pushing on.
Do not let death control you, if you give up that’s what it will surely do.
Death will find you and it will win the war but if you fight you can be more.
Go out fighting until the end.
Because when you stop fighting that is truly the end.

death knocking

 

Hello 610    Death will surely find us all some day.  But we must live each day and be strong.

thanking God for each day we have.  No one wants the grim reaper to knock on our door but someday it will. 

Until then happy days to you and yours.  This is a compelling poem.  Keep on writing your emotions.  It is good

therapy.  When times get rough I go to my secret haven, my poetry and it never fails me.  hb

Poet 610! How are you my

Poet 610! How are you my wonderful friend! Long time no see! This is an inspiring poem! Push on, push on! All sacrifice is good! Always give us another day, because the truth is we don't have anything we need that we can't walk away from, except family, there's no way to unfamily yourself, which is a Good thing! Basically a shift in attitude can work wonders for the soul, the trick is to keep the attitude even when things still don't work out, cause every failure is a blessing and a deliverance to a new door and each door with a new promise and that's the beauty of life, the promise. Hugss stay well, stay strong!


Don't let any one shake your dream stars from your eyes, lest your soul Come away with them! -SS    

"Well, it's love, but not as we know it."

Death Personified

I portray death as a peashooter and the pellets painful, but the next thing is always about to happen and I want to be there when it does. This is an affirmation. I love affirmations! - A
