Why I Am Not Afraid of Death

Why I am not scared of death
by americus


I am not scared of death.
I do not spend my days counting breath
And its not like I would try
But it is so easy to die

Morbid as it may be
I want to think about this carefree
I want my mind to be high
As I am about to die


I want to be close to the stars
I want to find a love like ours
And while I don’t want to be dying
I want to be flying

I don’t want you to see me go
But I do not believe in a “down below”
I don’t know if there's anything in the sky
So I am not afraid to die
