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)
