Mor Vincit Omnia~Death Always Wins
by Nia A. Death is a black void A striking, piercing, unavoidable hole That sucks us in eventually Here I am running, running faster Running harder as if Death won’t catch up to me Because it always does My cheeks flush red with fatigue My legs grow weary So I try I try every way to outsmart death Hiding in the shadows Fighting with the unholy darkness But Death spans across land and sea It’s shadows far greater than me Death has more fight left in it Knocking me out with its piercing blows Left swing Right swing Uppercut I cannot maintain the fight But I don’t give up easily Wounds oozing black and blue, throbbing in pain I try to fight But Death laughs and overpowers me And that’s how every fight with Death has gone down No one ever wins You just grow to accept it And heal those fighting wounds in the next life Nia is a Junior at Franklin High School. She enjoys reading, writing, and acting. Nia plans to pursue television or film writing when she gets older.
