Death Poem by Joscelyn Alderdice

The part that wants you to suffer wont learn.
The part that wants you to live must learn
The part that wants you to suffer has no idea.
The part that want you to live doesn't want that idea.
What the suffering must learn is that it can not last forever.
What life wont learn is that it wont last forever.
The suffering has no idea on what is to come.
Life knows what is yet doesn't want it to come.
This is a thing that you know as Death.
Something you can never get away from.
It will hunt you down whether the parts of you like it or not.
And you must face that fact when it is time to die.
