I am not afraid

I am not afraid to die
If it wished death would guide me away today
I would smile and forgive
Life is not an eternal gift

I am not afraid to let go
I’ve been clinging on far too long
My hands scraped raw with survival
Exhaustion built up throughout my body

I am not afraid to say I’ve done wrong
I’ve been stupid and childish
Hurt others in a moments impulse
Bloodied my own knuckles with fury

I am not afraid to say goodbye
For the bad, I’ve done good too
Been kind and caring at times
Raised up strangers and friends when I could

I am not afraid to die soon
I will embrace life for what it was
Pain, misery, love and hope
And with one final breath add an echo of my imprint to the universe
