Death

I have nightmares about death
Knowing anytime I could take my last breath
                                                           
The vivid images I see
The shivers I get when I think about the ways
He might take me
 
The sweats, the racing of my heart
Trying not to break down and fall apart
 
The panic attacks I get when I think
Is this it?
 
I can’t get it out of my head
That there might be nowhere to go once we’re
Dead
 
Being buried in the ground with bugs eating my flesh
Brings so much fear, it’s hard to express
 
The thought I might not make it to old age
Paralyzes me and makes me so afraid
 
Do you believe in an afterlife?
Or do you believe this is our only
Existence?
