More Than Me

Yesterday no more..

Death has been my constant companion for many a days now 

flirting with my mind 

taunting me

Trying to spin around me like a spider webbing his victim..

cloaking me with fear

I battle through 

Death won't take me 

It shakes me 

It wakes me 

But will never break me..

Death can't own me 

I've been set free

I'll face my trepidations with courage for I know I'll grow..

understanding not all things are easy to accept 

while some things are worth dying for..

I have no control so I'm letting go 

I'm not behind me 

nor in front 

I'm right here right now - in the present - this is the moment that counts 

I will live it like I mean it while I can 

because life is more than me..
