“Why Fear Death”

Are you afraid of the inevitable?

By that I mean are you afraid of death?

I mean yeah it’s kinda scary. But maybe it’s how you die not when you die.

It also might have to do with what it does to your family and friends.

What if it has to do with what happens after we die?

But I’m still asking the question why do we fear death?

Maybe the better question is why do we live?

What if we live to die and die to live?

I mean think about the past;

What is the past?

What if we're not talking about the past day?

Maybe we're talking about past lives.

You may think I’m crazy,

But think about it.

Have you ever had a dream,

that felt so real?

What if we aren't dreaming at all?

What if they're memories?

With that being said what if,

we’re dying to live again.

So the question still stands,

Why fear death?
