Open Letter to Death

My Open Letter to Death

I know someday you’ll come and find me

That doesn’t mean I’ll die easily

It's inevitable that my time will come 

I can’t lose sleep worrying about the day you’ll come

Will you take me awake or in my sleep?

When I’m dreaming of a life that you'll take from me

Will it be by suicide or completely corrupt my mind?

Until I no longer understand that there is purpose in life

I admit it I hate you, I despise you and I’d spit on you if I could see you

Don’t get it wrong, that doesn't mean that I’m scared of you

I know someday you’ll come find me 

That doesn’t mean you can take me quietly

The pain you bring, the hearts that you break

You should be incinerated from the hate our souls generate

So why haven’t you come to get me?

Are you avoiding me, scared of me or just flat out hate me?

I’m just trying to live my life and make the most of it

You’ll probably strip me of it just as I start loving it

When the day comes for you to take me I won’t be torn

Death comes for all of us, I’ll just be reborn

I think all of us have these thoughts about death. Though it can be maddening if we question ourselves about it for too long. I like the message that even though it is inevitable and will happen to all of us, that doesn't mean you are going to just give in.

You make a good point... it is inevitable. I think at at times in life everyone starts to think about death and after life and what is real and what is not. Thanks for the review... appreciate it!
