Death has called upon my name,
its hands started to rip my very soul,
gripping tightly on my neck,
trying to stop my breathing,
until my eyes started to lose to darkness
The abyss, I have been sent into falling,
how my feet was pulled into its inner walls,
where my darkest of fears I have come to forget,
it keeps on flashing back
should I keep fighting?
I remember,
how the blade caressed my skin
how it summoned blood on my wrist
how I felt the contentment of seeing crimson red,
how well did I become since that day
I ponder,
how things would turn out when I'll be gone,
if unwanted tears would be shed,
on eyes of my family and of my beloved
I always thought I am the living daylight,
that when I'm gone,
surely,
someone, or something
would soon be there to replace me
but no
I am not like that
they said I am just a lantern
and that's how they like it
for a lantern is
dimmed but cozy,
dimmed but warm,
dimmed but guiding
dimmed but the only light they know.
A second blade made a gash again,
not because of the same thing but from an unusual feeling,
no, it didn't even touched my skin ,
however,
the gash it made had grown deeper,
making me bleed more
not blood nor tears,
but with hopes and silent fears
My heart is lacerated with an image,
of death calling my name,
but no!
I would not allow any of its hands touch my neck,
grip my soul
nor made my way down to the darkest of abyss,
pulling my feet,
I'll keep living,
and to living I shall be,
NO ONE COULD TAKE MY LIFE AWAY,
NO ONE!

I like the fact that you prefer to fight death rather than to let it win. Yes Life is much preferable. Thank you for entering. The style is a bit of a mix but that serves to make it interesting.

Thank you for entering my contest.
Very inspring. I really like the message. The format seemed to really put drama into it.
My favorite part is when you compare life to a latern.
Delightful
