Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 My Greatest Fear

My greatest fear is fear of death.

First thing I do when I wake up

Is check if I still have a breath,

And when I do, so relieved - yup!

I know that ev'rybody dies,

But maybe somehow I will be

An exception that will arise

For me for immortality.

I hope this, as once more I sleep,

And into dreamland again go.

But this time I go extra deep,

When wake up time comes - oops, oh oh!

And now that I find myself dead,

I'll find another fear instead.
