Time

I am sick
I am dieing
All around me
People are crying

But I'm not scared
Not anymore
This is a new adventure
Through a new door

My eyes are heavy
I want to close them
But every time I do
They are forced open

I whisper to my mum
Who is by my side
Tears silently stream down her face
I am tired

I close my eyes
My breathing is weak
It is now time
For God and I to meet

I lay there silently
I died that night
The disease had won
I had lost my fight
