Have you ever thought
That we might die at this exact moment?

What did it made you feel?
Afraid?
Relieved?
Sad?
Happy?

Let me tell you what I'd feel

Nothing.
Death, pain
Sadness, anxiety
We will all get desensitized.

If you commit suicide
Will your pain really end?
Or it would just hurt you again, and again
Because nothing could stop it anymore
Not even death
Because you're already dead
At that moment?

We will one day
Die unknowingly.
And be forgotten.

Is it the oblivion that scares you?
Is it the pain of death that got you chills in your spine?
What is it now?
Is it still death?
What is death?
Do you think that death are only defined
Of a death angel ripping off the life force out of you?

Let me clear something out for you
Put death into perspective.
Put everything in your life
Into perspective.
You'll see
That life
Has a lot of other things to offer.
No matter how life kicks you down, you gotta get back up.
Suicide is not the solution.

*You
here’s
what they don’t tell you in sunday school.
no matter if you make it to heaven or hell,
you could still be sitting next to the school shooter
depending on whether or not he prays
to the right god.

my father always said
that if he meets jesus, he’ll apologize.
“sorry
man, I didn’t know. if it’s any consolation,
I believe in you now.”

two weeks ago
a friend grabbed my steering wheel
and she turned me into the next lane.
she believes in god
more than she believes in saying sorry.

we always tell each other
that the murderers are going to hell.
is this wishful thinking?
or are we just incapable of thinking
that we’re going to share our heavenly space
with somebody who stole lives.

even if I didn’t know it then,
these thoughts
might just be the reason
that I used to get panic attacks
when I thought about heaven.
I’ve always been a restless soul
and being stuck somewhere forever
was never
my style.

— The End —
