What does it feel like
To know you will die
Any day now
Any minute
Any second
You used to trip and fall
All the time
But now
One slip may be fatal

What does it feel like
To not know what lies beyond
Whether you would see the light of day again
Or fade into oblivion
Buried
Or turned into ashes
Laid into the earth forever
Or washed away into a river

What does it feel like
To know you can never go back
To those reckless days
Youthful days
Happy and carefree
Limited worries
Limited responsibilities

What does it feel like
To not know what to do
Except embracing death
Hoping it would be painless
Hoping you would be mourned
Hoping you were loved

What does it feel like
To know you can die
Any day
Any minute
Any second
