To Die

To die
would be a mystery 
forever unknown by the books, 
the scholars, the wise, the foolish. 

they ask if I myself am afraid of death
what would it do to be afraid of the unknown?
it is indeed only human nature
afraid, haha I laugh at the weak of heart

to be afraid is to be vulnerable
susceptible to life's misery
bravery is what the world lacks
death will consume the world
its just over the horizon 

a day away
embrace the cold hallow darkness of death 
it always welcomed you with open arms
waiting for that fatal day 
when it could claim you as its own

hasn't it already put a claim on you? 
immortality is things of fairy-tales, myths
death waits behind the curtain 
in the dark shadows 

in the depths of the unknown it lurks 
waiting. wanting. 
give into death
it will hold you high. steal your pain away.

all you've ever wanted lies 
right in front of you fool
catch it and release. 
into the unknown abyss.
