Death

Humans are scared of the unknown, this much I know.

When your whole existence is made up of unknowns, like me, you are often mislabled.

Humans are strange creatures always trying to label things, to make themselves feel safer and more at ease.

Humans often think my world is red but they're wrong, its black.

Humans are wrong about many things when it comes to me.

They make assumptions and then come to an incorrect conclusion.

Most think I'm male, a small group thinks I'm female.

Some say I am an animal, others a god.

To them I am either emotionless with a heart of stone or crazed with a passion for pain and suffering.

In reality I am none of those things.

Humans are wrong in another point: I don't find the living, the living find me.

Eventually every living thing will find me.

There are days where more will come then planned, but I can always handle them.

Humans try not to find me and use their inventions saying they are escaping me.

When really all they are doing is postponing our meeting.

I don't mind for they always come.

No living thing can avoid me.

Maybe that is why they fear me so.
