Fear

I'm not afraid to die
I'm not afraid to leave this world
My fear does not reside here
For it appears to not exist

My worries have left 
This god forsaken life
For one day I will leave
With the world to Morn

The thoughts and ideas left behind
Poetry which was my life
Relationships which obviously 
Ended with a bad story and a price to pay

I'm not afraid of death
Lying in this bed
So cold I can see my breath
Yet still cannot feel my heart

I do proclaim that I do not feel,
The ability too has escaped from my hand
I have no control of it
And believe I never will

I'm not afraid to leave this world
For ill go to another life
Or be left in a state of limbo
To where ill find a way to adjust

Death is a natural thing 
Yet most fear it
I believe the ability to start over
Is a great gift why deny it

Most people have never seen death 
Nor have they experienced it and come back
So how do we know which is better
This life or could it be the after

Remember me as I was younger
For the things I've done since 
Are but a mistake
Remember me as Steven G.

The little boy to which 
Could but help to ask his mind
The child to which had endured
All the bad examples of his mother

The son to which when his father 
Had a rough time he could come to his son
That is how you should remember him as 
Then

Not as this creature 
Which you see before you

Not this hormonally driven teenager
This self centered person 
A young adult who does as he wishes
And doesn't even think of the to come

Death is not my worry
The quicker it comes
The quicker I leave
When I leave I wish to be remembered

Just don't forget
The hopeless romantic
The eager to help child
The poorly treated son of a mad woman

Remember 
The Psychiatrist of his father
The child who helped raise his brothers
And most of all you can never forget

The child to which was a child 
The child that never existed
For he grew up too fast 
He has already died
