Dear Death

Dear Death,

You are the literal worst. You have trapped many people in your heartless clutches. But I will not be fooled. You will not get me.

You took my friend. She was so full of life. She had a career path. She had so much opportunity to be something. And yet you decided to talk to her. You and her danced so many death threatening steps. Until one day, she believed you. Now she is nothing. But you will not get me.

You took my grandfather. He was so generous and kind. He always gave me something, even if it was just a pretty rock he found walking. He cared about me, my siblings, and my cousins. It absolutely crushed us when we found out he wasn't our real grandfather. But he continued to love us. Then your friend, Agedness, took him on a long walk. A walk straight to you. You took him away from me, Death! But you will never take me.

You took my dog. My closest and dearest friend. He loved me and was so loyal. I have never felt so loved by anyone else. He gave me peace about my future. He cuddled me when I was sad. Then you convinced him to walk across that busy intersection. You hurt me in so many ways, Death. Which is why I decided, you cannot have me.

What did you do to deserve me? Take away those I loved? That does not deserve a reward like me. You have lost your chance to get me.

From,

The girl who lives forever
