Death


Dear: Death 

   Why do you come for me? You make it hard for me? You make it hard for me to 

leave my home and enter these streets. I don't wanna die today, tomorrow, ..... or ever.

But I guess only time will tell. I just hope I live to see my child turn twelve, instead 

of seeing jesus christ himself. I'm going to make it out , get an higher education and 

take the safer route. So yes I'm going to make my dreams come true. Awe and death 

don't come for me if I ain't come for you.
