6 Feet Under


 

6 Feet Under

Heights are the most fearful thing to many people,

Just 6 feet above the ground can cause even some grown mean to quiver.

But what scares me,

What truly scares me is the opposite.

What happens to you after you are no longer breathing.

Was what you did with your life when you were alive

Enough to make your legacy last past your life.

And if it wasn’t, than what?

What happens when you are 6 feet underground,

No longer walking the earth.
