Dying Young Late

Dying is easy, it's living that scares me to death. Life is too deep for words, I wish not to describe it, I live it. Many youths are so afraid do die that they never begin to live. But I wish to die young as late as possible, Because I'm living fast and would leave a good looking corpse. Don't forget, to live is to suffer, And to survive is to find a meaning in the suffering, Before the end of time. It requires more courage to wallow in pain, Than to be a well fed slave. I have been bent, broken and scourged, Beneath it, I developed into a man.
