What Are You?

[Aengus Og]

I turn away, it is in front of me.

I walk past, it follows me,

I run, it pursues me.

I hide, it finds me.

I stand tall, it towers me.

I resist, it scolds me.

I surrender, it ignores me.

I attempt, it eludes me.

I cry, it laughs at me.

I have family, it takes them.

I have friends, it takes them too.

I ask, it replies.

What are you? I am Death.
