I am Death
By Manperson96
Death
I am known, but feared for my mystery
I am ugly, but beauty is shown
I am death
I am cold, yet a raging fire
I am in the valley, and on the spire
I am death
I am naked, yet robed in fear
I am far away, but I'm always near
I am death
I can be happy, but often bring sorrow
I can take away your fragile tomorrow
I am death
I am unbound, yet wear shackles and chains
I am peaceful, yet I bring pain
I am death
I am a part
Not a complete whole
Without me, there would be no life
All living things must die
For I am death

Very true and beautifully written. Death personified without the image of The Reaper is always interesting. Thank you for sharing.

I really, really like this one. The contrasting dark and light descriptions of death show it as a beautiful, yet ugly thing.
