today, I witnessed death.
the death of a being so close yet so unfamiliar.
I witnessed how less people cared
but -
also how much they cared
about something so minuscule.

the lump in my throat refuses to settle
and my heavy heart weighs me down.
how will I ever deal with the death of someone so close,
when I can't even comprehend that of a distant one?
yes, death is a part of life but any death, big or small, can trigger strong emotions.
