Death


Life: so cruel and mean is never truly what it seems Death: so accepting, will never leave you wanting. One who accepts few, the other accepts you. One who is cherished the other, feared. One makes you live, the other lets you die. One is a prison, the other is the key One is a caged bird the other is free.
