Death’s voice
Life or death?
Life.
Why?
The unknown,
The truth.
Experience.
I am inevitable.
I concur.
However, my desire.
I was once your desire.
My obligations outweigh you.
I release anguish.
I have suffered alone,
Grown,

Awakened.
I will not face you alone.
Are you ready?
I have found her.
You are ready.
I refuse.
I am no longer helpless,
I have crippled my desire for you.
My essence lies within her,
It will cling to her once I enter your embrace.
You will aquire a universe without stars,
Is this what you truly desire?
Life or death?
Life!
Is that your final answer?

About Me
Life is about more than just surviving - Clarke Griffin (the 100). Creativity is dwindling, everyone is focused on surviving rather than living. My goal is to create a world where creativity is valued more and a part of everyone’s everyday lives. My inspiration comes from perceiving others, media I’ve consumed as well as drawing from my own experiences. In short, I’m leaving the state of just surviving. I will be living my life and finding the beauty in it. This is what I want to reflect in my writing as well as the experiences that led me to this point. Have a great day! :)
