Afraid to Die

by Raychil   Apr 7, 2007


I'm not afraid of living
I'm afraid of death
Not of going out and taking risks
But of meeting my last breath

Though I live each day
They seem to have gone by fast
And every night when I go to sleep
I pray its not my last

I fear the cold surroundings
I fear the pain I'll feel
I fear that I'll keep on praying
But find the dream is real

I'm worried I might not make it
That heaven won't hit my grasp
I'm worried I might not finish
The things that are my task

What if I never get to
The place I want to be?
What if I die before I can
Make everyone proud of me?

What if I never get to
See my first child's face?
What if I don't pass the line
To finish out my race?

I can not hide it
And I'm not going to lie
There are days when I just admit it
That I'm afraid to die.

    This was a very nice write. It flowed very well, and the meaning was even more profound. I liked how you expressed your speaker's desperation, her fear, because I could feel it. It's a topic most of us think about sometime. Very well done, I loved it.
