Analysis of Death
Death - sounds frightening indeed
Sometimes it's just the only thing you need.
Life isn't worth living in this place,
If all you can ever find is emptiness.
Facing the death isn't easy they say,
Memories just fly on your mind,
And you wish to leave it all behind,
Without feeling the need to stay.
Today I can finally say,
Without feeling guilty at all,
That all I need is a way,
To say goodbye and not stay.
What I've been through only a few can tell,
I've climbed mountains and haven't fell,
I've tried my best along the way,
Why would I not want to stay?
I might be asking the same question,
But sometimes it's more than just impression.
What you feel inside is what matters,
Don't let anyone change your own patterns.
I'm saying goodbye not just to you,
Also to this crazy world I've been through.
I can finally say this is my last day,
Who knows, maybe I'll meet you some other way.
