Fear Not Death

Stand for what you believe in

Do what you know is right

Lead by example and be your own

Speak the truth even if it hurts liars ears

Live life to the fullest with no regrets

Love those who have always loved you

And stick by your friends who have stuck it out with you during the toughest storms

Don't let death be your fear

For you should fear what you never lived your life for

I couldn't agree more. This was a very refreshing reminder of what humanity needs to embrace. Great job!

Each individual line conveys good advice. In your first line, you don't need "in" at the end. It is improper grammar to end any sentence with a preposition. Do the same with your last line where "for" is at the end. Just add "in" between "lived" and "your" and drop the last "for".
