"When I have fears that I may Cease to be" by John Keats


I believe that everyone is afraid of death because of different reasons. A mother is afraid of leaving her children alone, a girl is afraid of leaving her boyfriend, a grandfather is afraid of making her children unhappy, a brother is afraid of not seeing her sister getting married, and so on. In my case, I am afraid that if I died my entire family will collapse. I know that my parents love me and my brother as if we were they life, so they are not expecting me to die first.
I believe that John Keats is afraid of missing some important things in his life such as writing, love, recognition, family, etc. He had goal to achieve as anyone else have, so he was afraid of not achieve his objectives in life. Keats used this poem to let us know what his fears were, and how afraid he was of dying.
I believe that regret is not good at all. We should live the way we want to, in order to do what we want to do. We all have dreams and we all have the right to have those dreams come true.

Good ideas and it seems that you understood the poem correct, are you agree with the idea of being afraid of death or disappear?? How can you enjoy life if you don't see what is in front of you???The fear of stop existing can't hold you back from life...what do you think about that? Don’t you think that maybe Keats was a coward that hid himself in his fears to avoid reality?

Take care,
