Scott David Booker

Death does not scare me

For I welcome its cold embrace

I open the door every morning

Hoping to see the Reapers ghostly face

I don’t think that I can live like this

With all the pain and all the sorrow

I wake up every morning

Wishing there was no tomorrow

I no longer can share my thoughts

There are no longer words inside

Tears have swept them all away

My emotions have been cast aside

I keep putting on this façade

To keep you all at bay

But today I need you to hear me

Listen to what I have to say

I no longer want to breathe

I no longer want to hear

I no longer want to see

I don’t want to feel this fear

Let me go now, it is my time

I have nothing left inside

My soul needs to find its peace

For my heart has already died
