A common theme throughout the majority of my works is the inevitably of Death.

This poem touches that topic once more, more or less expressing the feelings of certainty and acceptance of mortality after denying it for so long, trying to outrun Death in a sense.

The first step towards enlightenment is conceding the belief that we are above our own mortality, and understanding that at any given moment our lives could end. This being said, I find that the true meaning of life is living it to our fullest extent, worrying not about the past but of what we can do with our future. The last two lines, however, reveal the inevitable feeling of denial, or avoidance one undergoes when they see Death at their door.
