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.

Shir Hanochi

"life isn't measured by the numbers of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away". With my poetry, I want to make more of those breathtaking moments, to put everything I feel into words and let everyone else enjoy it as well as learning from it.English is not my first language, therefore I'd like to hear any grammar or spelling mistakes. Thank you all for understanding, and enjoy reading. :) more…
