I was sitting in my room that night
When all of a sudden my mind took flight
I was suddenly HAUNTED by the vision of the reaper
A thing as a child I was taught to HATE
As my mind filled with his MADNESS
I slowly sank into his SANCTUARY
As I entered the dark halls
I couldn't help but follow his image to one room after the other
All I could hear were peoples' screams as I followed him in AGONY
The halls were filled with CASKETS of his victims
Nothing about this trip HUMBLED me
The BLACK walls were BLOODY and broken
There were signs everywere that read REST IN PEACE
I felt so LONLEY in this place
As if I were lost and had no way to escape
IMAGINE yourself walkin down a hall
Followin an image that you had no wish for at all
The odd thing about this little trip was that I felt as if I had been BLESSED
As I followed him into the final room
I fell to the floor and couldn't move
I knew then it was my time to go
And the IRONY was I had dreamed this once long ago
I layed there and watched him bid his time
Then he slowly came to my side
Close your eyes little one he whispered in my ear
Your time is far to near
Don't fight it that will only make it worse
Just let it come and hit you like a rush
It wont hurt I promise you that
And in the end you wont feel so bad
So I did as he told me and closed my eyes
I fell into his memory and there I reside
My CASKET now lays in his hall
And when you pass it theres a sign that says REST IN PEACE to all

I see your poety and understand your pain -
I really enjoyed this poem, but I did not like the capitalization of words that should not have been. I became distracted and it took much longer to read and inhale the write. But that is just me. Others may find it creative. Other than that I loved the read. It had a very contemplative ending.
