Embracing Death

I heard the squelch of death again,
Though I tried to turn a deaf ear,
But its hands were on me with pain,
My heart burns yet I have no fear.
At night I saw creatures with claws,
And sharp molars running around,
Calling on my name with loud voice,
As devil beans fall on the ground.
I jerk back as I lay on  bed,
Waiting for death to visit me,
My heart pounds as my eyes turn red,
How I wish I can be set free. 
Free from death by embracing it,
As I spin and fall inside ~pit .

I think I will avoid embracing death for a bit longer. Congrats on your win.
