Death (A Poem)

in poetry •  6 years ago 

I am the shadows, I am the Cold
I am the monster of tales that are told.
I choose who stays, and who gets to leave
I give you time for your loved ones to grieve
I am the Sad, I am the pain
I am the ghost outside in the rain
Whether its cancer
Or of old age
I'm the one who fills you with rage
I am the hatred, I am the sorrow
I am the taker of children-tomorrow
You may know me by many a name
But my presence remains the same
I am The Reaper, I am Death
Telling you not to waste a single breath.
