A Shallow Finale

With a blood curdling scream

Do I wake from my dream

Trying not to embrace the darkness

 Clutching air to my chest do I lay back to rest

 All the while I’m ignoring the rasping

 From the deepest recess, I beat at my chest

 This mortal coil no longer mine for possessing

 Sad words are they spoken

Mirror lies as a token

To make my soul sound so unique

 So pass by in procession, and be done with this session

 For my name you’ll forget in a week 

 Go to my wake have coffee, and cake

 Tell jokes while you smile so banally

 Don’t be so grim like the reaper within

 We all get this shallow finale
