The End

Dying is a task we must all undertake

Some souls are given a clock

And must watch each second count down

Until eyes slip close one last time

Ah, but no such linier luck for me

No predictable ticking for me

Freed of the constraint of the limits on time

Fate handed me a gun

With six chambers and three bullets

A trio of killers that stalk my body

Click. I'm fine

Bang! I'm wounded taken down

All the while harboring the cruelest cut

Infirmity, that fate worse than death

There are days when Death

Is a much awaited friend

And I pull my triggers haply

There is life to be lived

Amongst this death

Because at the end of life's adventure

A new life begins

    So sad you didnt know

    It is so sad you didnt know those who truly loves you in this world .Often we look only to those we have always known and not knowing they may be the problem we feel as we do .You must look beyond those around you and see life from another perspective before you make such a decision as the bullet for in not knowing of the love you could have you so deprive yourself of a happy loving life . Tell me you will try before you give up tell me you didnt know that even from miles away you are loved by so many who hasnt had the chance or the pleasure of meeting you for you never gave them the chance to help set you free and know life can be good but first you have to step beyond the cage whithin you have enclosed yourself within step out and be heard and seen by those who knows what love really can do .
