Unwind

Being alive and living
are actually
pretty different.

I saw a video once
and there was a girl,
a girl that was already dead
on the inside
but wanted to be gone
on the outside too.

She wanted to
just Go,
throw all the cards
in the air.

Her doctor told her:
We all do.
And I realized
he was right.

She was afraid of dying
of becoming
nothing.

She wanted to press pause
but the nice nurse assured her:
Everything is okay.

She said:
Sweetie, you don't die.
You just stop living.

And that hit me
hard,
just how fucking right
she is.
