Thanatophobia

Behold, The crushing inevitability
The unavoidable black void
It looms on the horizon
As time begets the dusk of our existence

The unavoidable black void looms
On the horizon

Burdening thoughts of a finite continuance
Enveloped by blinding anxiety
Wrapped in a veil of dreadful visions
Lamenting death with every waking breath

Enslaved by a toxic mindset
Consumed by fear
A state of living as if already dead

Consumed by fear
Already dead

(Moments wasted)
Moments wasted, potential lost
A state of living as if already dead
Moments fleeting, profound cost

Death beckons at every turn
(Death beckons at every turn)
In waking or in slumber
Any moment could be the last
Insomnia spirals into madness

I dare not dream what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil
