The Reaper
Manifestation of suffering
death imminent
devouring life
cultivate my soul
wielding your scythe
your unbiassed role
come now reaper
no martyr here
meet in the flame
present to me
not afraid
not meant to flee
following
phosphorescent eyes
mortality pending
guidance required
prepared to depart
this life uninspired
