Embracing Death

Fear death?-- to feel the sharp blades on my wrist Oozing deep red liquid, outlining my fragile arm Pain twinged in my once steady crest I'm almost there, away from anybody's harm Darkness awaits the struggles of my soul I feel numb, unshaken yet creepy Reaching for the light, coffee cups started to fall No, I am finally free! This strife will be over, what have I gained? Built paper walls around me, unimaginably high The chapter’s over, black ink smudges remained Breathing in and out, fighting for air; Sigh! Sigh! I was a fighter but can't stand no more Watching closely how demise covered my eyes Is this life really worth living for? Misconception, failures, hatred and lies Please allow me to taste freedom and peace Let me embrace death, the whole of it Hoping this time I will see a new light To bear the pain, to cherish memories, to forget To savour my last minute, though this isn't right Whilst this sounds morbid, at last I am fine Fear death?-- Nah, I would gladly embrace mine.
