Maybe Death Is Life For Some Of Them

By

Maybe the death is life
for some of them
the ones who want to die

I can’t imagine waking up with so much pain
that it drives me to think of leaving

some people spend their whole lives being afraid of dying
airplanes
mountain climbing
being robbed
mugged so they don’t travel to third world countries
stay safe
safe
safe

and others
wake up every day and wish to die

what a world that we live in
where dying for some is heaven
and some hell

I know for sure the one I lost
wished to die deeper than he wished to live
for him
death was life.
