In The End



In The End there's nothing but death
He'll be sure to take your breath
Like the way a crunch comes with a fallen leaf
Death will certainly come for me.

In The End the darkness will take us all
Like a cool breeze in the perfect fall.
When there is no more, say a prayer
As death gives us all a deadly stare.

In The End we'll be put in dirt
and leave our loved ones to be hurt
Our time will come as a shocking surprise
and we'll be lead, to our demise

In The End you'll be forgotten
except by those you allowed to be brought in
Family's not what you're but what you make
Until the time comes for your inevitable fate

In The End you're alone
No matter what you learn to cope
I hope everyone forgets me
So I won't be a painful memory

In The End.

    Wow, this is a powerful and thought-provoking poem. You have a talent for putting emotions into words and making the reader really feel the message you're trying to convey. Your use of metaphors to describe death is clever and adds depth to your writing.

    One suggestion I have is to consider adding a more hopeful or uplifting message at the end of the poem. While the reality of death is inevitable, it's important to remember that life is meant to be lived to the fullest and cherished while we're here. Perhaps you could explore the idea that while we may feel alone in the end, our memories and the impact we make on others can live on.

    Keep up the great work and continue sharing your unique perspective with the world through your writing.
