I am in limbo I am in an airport, where the only food is a turkey sandwich; lathered in mayo, which I love, but coincidentally is also lathered in mustard, which I don't care for An airport in which the only drink is coffee; it isn't sweet nor is it bitter nor does it taste of coffee at all My flight has been delayed and there are no other flights available As I am wandering the airport, and the gate keeps getting changed I am stuck, and I am lonely I will be eviscerated if I dare step foot outside; I've seen it happen I have been here for a millennium I've never been scared of death, so where does the fear come from now? I am in pain I feel desperate Why am I hesitant now? What is the point of fear or hesitation? I cannot be saved, Nor can I be ****** There is no hope; there are no alternatives to reality I, of course, know why I am hesitant I have people that I care too much about Nothing stalls one like the fear of disappointing people one loves But, am I a person? What am I? Whatever I am, I wish I wasn't My cease of existence and the pursuit of that ideal has been halted I've seen my loved ones smile and laugh far too often to let it be an “easy” decision I wish I was able to make a clear choice Yet, I hover I walk the delicate line of being alive and ceasing to be I walk the line of becoming and stagnation Why am I here at all? What purpose could I possibly serve when I am unable to make a concrete decision about my existence? I am the wind; in the sense that I am there and not, and people will notice my absence I have never subscribed to the idea that though my life is worthless to me, it is the same to others I understand the impact, I have always understood the impact I suppose I was banking on others “getting over it” as I have been told many times before that I should There are no refunds and there are no outgoing or incoming flights

The two doors both lead to suffering

This is a cowardly way of saying I don't want to die and I don't know how to exist
