Dear Death,

I fear you, I fear that you will snatch me away from life, and from the ones I love, but my biggest fear is to not have accomplished anything when you come knocking at my door. I'm so scared of you death, I always wonder, what would it feel like to die, would it be peaceful, or painful? The more I think about it the less I am scared. You are a natural thing, people die all of the time. Sometimes I wish you didn't exist. So many have died, and they would still be alive if it weren't for your existence. Death, you took a loved one from me, and you keep taking the lives of millions of teens, kids that fell into a hole in the middle of their paths in life and couldn't get out. Death, you did this, if you hadn't been there those kids would still be alive, but I couldn't blame it all on you, hate, labels, bullies, and evil are also the causes of these unfortunate events. Death, I'm sorry I take this all on you, it's easier to blame you than to blame others. I shouldn't blame you, I should blame myself, maybe if I had posted that one thing I saw, I could have prevented someone's death, maybe if instead of frowning all of the time, I could have smiled at a random person and end up saving their life. Death, I am not sure how close you are to me, but I just wish for you to give me long enough to fulfill my purpose in this world if it is to end world hunger or simply smiling at someone on the street. Death, please do not come early, I know that I have something waiting for me at the end of the path, so I beg you Death, don't come too soon.

Sincerely

-The Girl Afraid Of Dying
