# 10... Death, the last visit (my version)

Original:

Hearing you complain that you are too young for this complex situation makes me sick.

I have no answers for you anymore. There is only one thing to say, and that is if you can’t handle it go away.

Thinking- that without you I could not stand on my own if you were not around to support me, I was wrong. Realizing- that I am stronger now and can forge on. I will not let go. I will continue the fight on my own. You can run from the reality, but you can never hide from it.

You will feel regret, feel pain, remorse, sorrow and realize those that you turned your back on were the ones that loved you. Whilst passing on the streets you will see a familiar face that looks like yours, a mirror image of you.

You may become overwhelmed with grief. Your reckoning will shock you, will open your eyes and mind to what you have done. What you have left undone. You will try to grasp everything at once as the world spirals out of control and the floor slips from beneath your feet.

It will knock you off your feet. It will hit you hard. You will not be able to comprehend it. Alas, my love, what goes around comes back around and so on and so forth. What you tried to cast away will eventually haunt you.

But lest you forget what you have done, may I remind you…

You chose death, I chose life.

Rewrite:

Complaints that you're too young for this

situation has made me sick.

I've no answers for you anymore.

There is only one thing to say:

If you can’t handle it go away.

Thinking- without you I can't stand

on my own if you're not around

to support me, I was wrong.

Realizing- I'm stronger now and

can forge on. I will not let go.

I will continue the fight on my own.

You planted the seed, but I’ll watch it grow.

You'll feel regret, pain, remorse and sorrow.

You'll realize those that you turned your

back on were the ones that loved you.

While on the streets you'll see a familiar

face that looks like yours, a mirror image of you.

You may become overwhelmed with grief.

Your reckoning will shock you,

will open your eyes and mind to

what you have done. What you have left undone.

You'll try to grasp everything at once

as the world spirals out of control

and the floor slips from beneath your feet.

Noticing what once could have been yours

will make you cringe, will make you ball,

will knock you off your feet - you'll fall.

You'll not comprehend it.

Your stomach will twist and turn.

The child you see before you,

your name he’ll never learn.

But lest you forget

what you have done,

may I remind you…

You chose death, I chose life.
