What is Death?
Death is neither here nor there
Death is seen most everywhere
Death is not such a scary thing
Death is an inevitable happening
Death is not black not white
Death is something in which we have a right
Death is not there to fear
Death is something we all should cheer
Death has always been a site
Death is something some people fight
Death can in a way be sweet
Death can be something we can cheat
If I am sick and in pain
Death is something I want to reign
I do not want my family to mourn
Cause death is something I have sworn
Will be the thing we have not known
Can be the thing which is our home
What is Death? I do not know
Death is somewhere we all will go
This is not meant to be a morbid thing so please try to understand it rather then read into it. I wrote this about 18 years ago when I began writing poetry. It was published in my school newspaper in JR High and about 10 yrs ago online. Just give me your thoughts on it.
Thanks

Wow.That's pretty good.It's really...deepish.I've been published a few times.Do you belong to a site called Poetry.com? You could put that on there and get it published into a whole bunch of books.I've won awards from that site for a poem I wrote for my mom.
