It takes so much to be happy

But only one blow 

To be broken 

Into pieces

When happiness is short-lived

What do you do?

Are you brave enough 

To face it head on? 

Or are you too afraid

And cower away and

Cry?

Is this fate? 

Or is this something 

To shape you up? 

To make you strong

To teach you

Or is it 

What's been decided

And 

What's final? 

Some say death is scary 

Some say it's painful 

Some say it's alright

That it's peaceful 

Whom should you believe? 

Death becomes a loss

A loss becomes a burden

A burden becomes pain

Irreversible pain 

Tearing you apart

Clawing at your wounds 

Rendering you lifeless

Destroying, obliterating

Mercilessly 

Because that's what they are supposed to do

And 

Because 

There is nothing you can do 

But to just sit

Watch 

Writhe in agony

And cry 

And fall apart

And die.
