The Beginning of the End
It is the beginning But end draws near
It has deep eyes and a devilish sneer
And with it comes looming fear
Leaving everyone unsure
So just infer
The end is something that I am not
It can be happy, or sad neither is good nor bad.
And try as I might to end the end
it always comes or should I say, goes
goes with time as it forever flows.
The end is abrupt but can sometimes never come soon enough.
A hero and a villain to all
Here to bring all good things to a stop
And put all bad to rest
The end will always seem to snip it short
And don't believe me if you must
But I assure you the end will come
And it will inevitably end
that life that we hold so dear
And with it our fear
But living forever would be a bour
That is why we have the end
To shut the door and let us exist no more
And as much as I would like to stay
Living has a cost
And it's my turn to pay
So I will let the end take me
Take my pain, fear, and worry
Run off with them in a skurry
And hopefully, I'll see you once more
When the end shuts your door

This peace can be taken at face value or it can be analyzed and that's really what I was trying to accomplish. it has an underlying message about death and how we handle it and the way people can interpret my poem plays into that because death can be taken at face value or the person's life who is no more can be analyzed and cherished. we all have this fear of not existing and that is how I start this pome with the narrator fearing his demise but near the end, he comes to terms with the fact he or it will not live forever and tells the reader to accept that fact because they too are going to meet that fate one day. yes, it's sad but there is beauty in death and I really hope I captured that aspect in my poem. my grandpa has also been diagnosed with stage 5 cancer so this was a sort of therapy for me to write because he told me he's ok with dying but it's hard for me to let go of him. I wrote this as a means of coping with that reality.
