Dear death,
Have you ever received a warm welcome with arms open wide?
I wonder why people are scared of you,
What's in this world that people are hesitant to leave behind?
I only see the pain and suffering, like shadows in the night,
Where are the happy moments, bathed in the golden light?
And if they are here, then where is mine?
When will it be my turn to be happy, to let my heart truly shine?
When will my fear of you arrive?
Because at this moment, I feel the worst I have ever been,
And you seem the loveliest I've ever seen.
What is it about you that people crave at their lowest?
What's after you?
Are there more sufferings or an eternity of peace?
Is there an end or a never-ending cycle?
Will I be happy after accepting you,
Or will I regret meeting you?
I don't know what will happen in the afterlife,
I just know that nothing feels good here.
I don't know what tomorrow holds.
What I know is that today I crave you the most,
Like a wanderer yearning for the comfort of home,
In your embrace, my restless heart will find its abode.
