Why is death less terrifying
than birth?

I hate the thought of laziness.

Death is free falling, uncontrollable, gone.
Birth is wracking, pushing, consistency.

Is it psychological?
It must be.
Death is only ceasing to be,
but birth is bringing about
a whole new being.

If stated in those terms,
I will not,
can not afford to
be beaten by fear.

And I'm certainly not lazy.
