"Death be not proud"

A broken I lay on the ground
As we all open our hearts, mine
is empty all round and within.
They stare at me with beedy eyes
and curled lips
I quiver beneath their hidious gazes
and cruel snarles.
They remind of death the object that I have come to know well
through my horried child hood and adolencense
I grind my teeth and pray that death will
come take me away tonight
The walls start to close in on me their faces become ghostly
and I, become quivering flesh
I look at them and I feel wrong all over
i shouldnt be cowaring
i yell at death's face
"death be not proud"
I feel proud and i feel strong

*john donne's death be not proud was used for the
this poem,"death be not be not proud"*
