A life
December 27, 2015
Ole Death beckons the
What is danger in the eyes of one
Whispers tales I want to see
A story told by none
Blood and sweat are thy clothes
All tears are shed in thought
What's the point no one knows
The fears cannot be bought
It's reckoned the sun shall fall
That the moon will rise
We will all feel the call
The motion that tempts to close our eyes
What is it all in the final scene
That our bones are meant to collect dust
I think the answer is a dream
This wish I hope is a must

Surprisingly for me, I do relate to this... I've been thinking about death so frequently lately that I'd ask myself "Is it normal for a young girl as me to wonder so much about death?!" What I mean is that I am young and anyone would say that I have my whole life in front of me waiting to be lived. BUT what if I DON'T?! What if I'm meant to die in a CLOSE future?! No one really knows for sure. What's certain is "Death is INEVITABLE" yet I think that what people are mostly afraid of isn't death itself or the fact of dying. It's rather the fact of stepping into the UNKNOWN, that's what people fear the most. Honesty as always lol Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing this.

I can connect to this. Thank you, Ryan, for sharing this. You're a talented writer. You've grown a lot in writing. Thank you again.
No one cares to admit their fear of inevitable death. A sheer fact that scares everyone no matter what. For those who contemplate it daily as I do, I hope this helps you.
