Description
Death is standing in my doorway,Death is ringing on my bell.
I refuse to simply listen,
I refuse to just get up.
Even thought I know its there,
I will never shift myself.
Death is knocking on my doorway,
“Let me in” it tells me then.
I can already taste the smolder,
From the ashes on its shoulder,
Brought up all the way from hell.
Death is knocking on my doorway,
Death is walking through the door,
Death is ever near my presence.
Death has prophesied my toll.
“Just let go of all your troubles,
Take my hand and be reborn,
As entirely new someone,
With no old memories at all.”
I refuse to its voice listen,
I cannot let go the world,
To my relatives I grab,
And I scream but they hear silence
To my friends I bid adieu
And they say he just grew old
Spiders crawl upon my shoulder
Far too heavy is the boulder
Hanging from my scrawny neck
Growing distant, ever colder
I am getting ever older,
Ever closer to inevitable end.

I've just lately learned to know what work stress is and I can so relate to this picture... Wonderful work; this has a very eerie feel to it that works well with the theme itself.

This is the best thing I have seen from your gallery so far.
It is really impressive, i swear.
I just love how the man turns old, and how his skin dries gradually.
Also the poem you wrote is just amazing.

I faved this.
It expresses my greatest nightmare:
To work all your life in a boring job, and when you die,
surrounded by the work you hate, you have nothing but regret.
That is what I see in that poor sucker. He looks at his work and thinks A "Im not finished" or B "DAMN. I didnt even want this.".
And so I will look at this again to remind me to strife for a life that I can look back on and go into the light saying "Heaven would be to do it all over again."
Many thanks
