And a villanelle! Google it to find out the restrictions, but I think I followed them all.

Because I cannot face my death today,
Between scant hope and dire, repining hours
I will continue living anyway.

When fateful stars spiral, dance in dread ballet
I live, far from bless'd sanctuary tower
Because I cannot face my death today.

Into Sisyphean labors most hours fray
But since a few with love and life flower,
I will continue living anyway.

With envenomed thorn, the Tree of Life arrayed.
I grasp wither'd fruit, joy, from glum bower
Because I cannot face my death today.

Sorrows fall in indiscriminate, vile rays.
Yet finding joy 'mid that terrible shower,
I will continue living anyway.

While I tremble, my resolve with fear flay'd,
And am in the reach of earthly power,
Because I cannot face my death today,
I will continue living anyway.
