The Cave

I was in a cave, it was vivid and dark
I remember it to this day
The day I started to pray
Pray that life wouldn't stop
Pray that the reaper wouldn't find me
Pray that the vultures wouldn't come and find the cave
Pray that life wouldn't have so much pain
I exited the cave that very night
And reentered reality with a fright
And then I realized that life goes on
And eventually, I will be the only one
