Mortality
Tomorrow morning
My fate will be sealed
One way or another
My mortality will be revealed
It doesn’t matter if we win or lose
Look at them
How can they sleep so peacefully
The battle of our lives
In just a couple hours
And they rest so easily
I know why
It’s because they have a choice
An option
If we lose they die
But if we win they live
I wish I was the same
It doesn’t matter what happens
Whether we win or lose
The result stays the same
I die either way
Should I tell them
Should I let them know
That this terrible battle
Will not change the fate of my soul
Will it break their hearts
Will they lose all hope
Knowing that soon I will be toast
I won’t tell them
I can’t tell them
I have to face my mortality alone
(Based on my new book, Plaguebound)
