Challenge
The concept of death has captivated our imaginations since the beginning of human society. It has formed cultures, defined religions, shaped the course of history.
Write about death. It can be lighthearted, humorous, hopeful, respectful, dreading, mournful, optimistic--you can paint it in any light you would like.
Any style and format- poetry, prose, story, fiction, nonfiction, etc.
Dear Life
If only I hadn't the obligation to ruin you;
For my presence is the very one that destroys your forevers
When I once wished I could be free in the meadows like the eyes that I turn black
I was born into a universe that needed an end to its fearful infinity
And so I stepped in, not knowing how much I would hurt you.
My long lost heart, my one true love--
Life
I wish we could live together in harmony again
But they keep asking me to take them
When you are too heavy to bear
And dear, I hate to watch them suffer
I must comply
I'll play this sick game over and over until
There's nothing left
And still
There will never be time for you to forgive me
