Fear

I live my life in fear each day 
Afraid to die in any way 
To die in pain of any kind 
Such awful things run through my mind 
People tell me "death is happiness" 
A place called heaven awaits above 
Where there's no pain, sorrow, but lots of love 
Why do I listen to what people say 
When they've never been there in any way.
If I said I wasn't afraid to die 
I would only be telling you a lie 
My fear of death is so unreal 
But we all will go, no mater how we feel 
The thought of being in a deep dark hole 
I pray to God, please take my soul.

I've looked death in the face more than one time. The truth is that there is nothing to fear and R.I.P is a reality. Good poem (7)
