Death

I no longer fear you

I am no longer afraid to meet you

I hold no apprehension about you

I walk freely into those arms of yours

I have lived in the darkness for so long

I have felt every pain and guilt as if it was all mine to bare

I have accepted my darkness as my life for too long

I have dealt with my demons and made my choices

So come to me death take my hand

Deal me into the card game you play

I have planned my way out as far as I can

I have made my peace with those that matter

I have looked into the mirror and said “Goodbye”

I will not allow myself to be held back from you

That just won’t do

When my time is at hand

I’m not afraid of you
