To Be Afraid Is To Be Human

October 27, 2008

Don’t know why

It frightens us so

While inside we cry

To get away from this foe

Not a pleasant thing

If it can make us sad

Make us cry

Make us beg

While that inner voice

Inside our heads

Cries out to us

Till the bitter end

Death

Is always there

To make us wonder

Why were here

I got my idea for this piece during a time were I struggled with the death of my loving Uncle Lowell.
