Born into death,

already I have failed.

Death’s claws brush my cheek,

cold air grips my neck.

I don’t reach for a grave

but a tombstone bears my name.

Fear or courage, I will pass,

fade with the past.

By fame or forgetfulness

I will drown in the ground.

Time will erase my marks,

void my life of meaning.

I have failed already, buried

under a temporary life.
