A consequence that I'm afraid of
Death would not be avoidable.
That I'm afraid of facing.It was daunting to think about being dead.
Realizing I wasn't ready and facing the fear that we all would witness.
Go the way of all flesh; I was afraid to bite the dust.
I wasn't sure where my actions would take me—to hell or the Sacred or holy land.
It was my desire to build something before I passed away.
The demons will be witnesses to my actions, and my angels will be the judges of my death.
I was expecting to meet one's maker.
But the reality intimidated me.
I was scared of pushing up daisies.
