First ever piece of my own writing titled "The void"

That night I was on my way back home at some time before the obsidian, when I just passed a rather

large gathering for such an hour. Not until I got almost next to them did I realized they were all lamenting and

then it hit me that someone was  no more. “let that person find peace” I said under my breath . And  it was then

that my head started a train of thoughts “Y is it that every time v hear the word death there is that stark in our heart

regard less of whether I know the person or not , it brings a tear in my eye . Y do I feel that its me whose lost that some one,

y cant I just read the death of my favorite character as just another set of lines.”

Is death really that bad? But elders say they are crossing over, going to a better place , finding eternal peace,

becoming a star and watching over us from above, becoming part of god; but still mourning from the inside.

Y should v feel low all those things they said are good, still I cant convince my inner self to not feel bad. Y should

Death scare me. No it shouldn't. I love riding at 120kmph, wandering in unpopulated highways with all valuables on me,

Jumping in water not knowing how to swim, trying bungee jumping… I crave for the thrill all these give but still y does

Just news of someone’s demise immobilize me .

Then I just remembered these lines from megadeth song “A Tout le monde”

If my heart was still alive

I know it would surely break

And my memories left with you

There's nothing more to say

Moving on is a simple thing

What it leaves behind is hard

You know the sleeping feel no more pain

And the living all are scarred

So as you read this know my friends

I'd love to stay with you all

Please smile, smile when you think about me

My body's gone that's all

Its not death that scares its what the people leave behind. Its then I realized I’m not afraid of death but it’s the feeling of being

Forgotten. As the Japanese say you don’t die when poisoned stabbed or shot , nor by a deadly disease; you die when u are

Remembered no more or ignored. Being dead is not peace but being lonely; so its not death but staying alone is scary.

It is this void I feel in my heart……
