Analysis of Do death not frighten you?



Do death not scares you anymore?
Do you not fear of the outcomes?
How could you be so brave ?
Or were you already aware of the leveller!

How can you look so beautiful yet sad?
Why is there no emotions in your eyes?
Why do you look so pale yet so elegant?
How can one be beautiful when death arrives?

Do you not fear deaths anymore
Since now you're in a better place.
Why are you feets and body so cold?
Why can't I hear you breathing anymore.

I saw you lying there beautifully,
Yet I did not want to let go of you.
How did my heart not jump out of my chest?
When it ached so much.

Why are the memories of yours now vivid?
Why can't I remember you anymore?
Why did I tried not to shed a tear?
Why did I tried to become an adult when I was merely a teen?

I know heaven is a good place
But you've had families here on Earth.
Are you happy out there!
I bet your watching at us right now
Smiling all alone, protecting us from all the dangers that is ahead of us!

I miss you grandma!!
