Life and Death

We both are everywhere

Complete Opposites but everyone meets us.

We are Unavoidable

Life is sweet like some candy

Death is bitter like a lemon

Hello, I’m life the one thing everyone wants

Most hope to have a lot of me before death gets them

Death is feared by most

Leaving most anxious and worried

I try to fulfill your heart and make you happy

I want you to be pleased with me before meeting him

I am good in this world, everyone wants me

You only get one of me tho

Hello, I am the death

Eventually, we’ll meet

I scare the soul out of people

At some point in time, everyone meets me

Some people use me for a way out

I am nothing but darkness

Sometimes I hate the pain I cause

But I know I cannot help it

Life is only so limited

But death is eternal
Enjoy your life before

You’re at my doorsteps

And we come face to face
