You are gripped by a fear,
the voice of life is all you hear;
trade yo’ birthday for one more year.
The fear of losing out makes you tire,
holding your beloved in burdensome desire;
the sight, of a burning light, or a fire.
You are ready to be the devil’s bride,
this is as a result of your natural pride;
anything you’d do, to save your hide.
Your many years are judged in a minute,
the empty feeling of being given a tribute;
‘I am dead,’ is all your brain can constitute.
