There was a wake
In our general outpost
Just a two minutes walk away from home
I think it's the ninth funeral this year?
Last month,
A 22 years old; non-binary; lesbian died on suicide.
Before that,
There's an old man found dead because of heart attack.
Then our neighbor, I don't know why.
And when I passed them
I wished they are happy
Because the mourners did
Three of them shouted "Bingo"
But, I'll be honest
I hope it's my turn next.
How r u all? It's been a while. I'm still fighting over my chronic illness, work and stressed about everything. Keep your sunshine lovely 🖤
