Death



Death you may say?
It's a price we all might not be willing to pay.
Hurt you may feel?
Not ready to move on because people may say it's not a big deal.
Death is one of the most tragic things you may experience.
Emotions running everywhere, people thinking it's just for pretense.
But steady and careful you try not to crack.
But it's sometimes hard to keep a hold.
Trying not to fold
But it's easier said than told.
Death will make you feel different types of emotions.
Pain, denial, sadness and sorrow.
Not knowing if you'll get up tomorrow
As you feel like your heart has turned completely hollow.
