Be Bright

I will sleep, when I die, eventually 
Like most those who run from it
Won't we all then meet, only for me to chide you,
With my sarcasm
Of how we all died after all your efforts to evade
But tell me this, dear reader
When you read what I scribbled above
Have you pondered about your own flight away from eventuality 
Or have you, like me, felt calmer in knowing
That an end does arrive, or will whenever
Not tonight though, Right?
What if it did , I wouldn't know if
For I don't seem to understand the nuances of the struggle to live an extra second 
Or maybe I don't really care about my end
But I wish you well, be astonished 
Be all you will, and more
And such is my prayer to you
Before I let my sleep take over
GoodNight

Don' bother

At the end, I will always scrape burnt porridge 
Though you would swear by my cooking, I know why
But to tell on me! I wouldn't dare to try
I find myself at home, at the sink, doing my dishes
Wondering nothing, you may mistake it for woe
Though
Yet know
I won't correct your misnomer, or inability to perceive 
Nor react to your lauding, nor bother to deceive
I will remain, you will leave, I won't bother to shatter nor heal
As I exist, you do too, yet neither interleave 
So here I am at my sink, washing the dishes
There you maybe, wherever there is
The night will pass, come to light
Some stories are better out of sight
