the walls are closing in,
as i take just one last breath,
ive never been afraid of this word that
you call death,

i know it would eventually happen, 
just really not quite yet, 
i look into my mothers eyes,
are those the eyes of death?

why do i have to go?
i still have one more project due, 
and a brain with one more idea,
but yet gods telling me my time is up
and that people are waiting to see me, like my aunt that i
call tia.

I hear the people in my room cry and shout at me
yet the only thing i see
is the room thats closing 
in on me. 

i think one last thing,
about how much i love my sister and brother,
about my best friend kate, 
waiting for me above the sky at the begining of the golden
gate.

I tell them its goodbye now, 
and please dont shed a tear, 
for i died because i had to
and please do not ever fear. 

It wasnt as scary as i thought it would be 
as a i took that one last breath
i close my eyes and just wonder
about this word,this word that you call death.
