i never know how to start off a poem or a work of words and when i do, it’s usually a handful of pretty looking letters that form casualties in the lungs of my dear readers (i’m sorry that i’m hurting and i’m sorry that it hurts you) i drove past a graveyard and i could feel the departed eyes watching me as if i was next. (dear christ, do you exist? dear whoever, is there a forever?) i’m not scared to die anymore, the fear has leaked out of this cracked shell and into the younger ones - the ones who have seen monsters and not the ones underneath your bed.) i’m not scared to die - but I’m terrified of what comes after will i ascend to the heavens? or will lucifer claim me as his own? (i’m pretty sure everything is a lie, but if it isn't -  i hope to see you on the other side.)

(i'm really not all that terrified - really.)
