Away From Here
One day you will die
No more hours left to try
Settled in your death
Emptied of your breath
No coming back
Demons will attack
Your carrion soul
You can't pay the toll
To cross that river
You ignored the giver
And tried to pay your own
Pennies for the loan
Of life
And strife
Was all you received to atone.

Short and vivid. I really like it. I am reminded to enjoy every moment. I hope strife will not be all I get for atonement but I get your point. Great poem.
